The Big Help Out
The Big Help Out was back between 5-8 June 2026!
What is the Big Help Out?
The Big Help Out is an annual volunteering event where we will join hundreds of national charities and community groups to inspire the public to get involved with our causes.
Originally planned over the King’s Coronation Weekend in 2023 the Big Help Out now sits at the end of Volunteers’ Week to help celebrate the contribution volunteers make to the charity sector.
How you can get involved
The Big Help Out is over for 2026, but you can still volunteer with us by:
Signing up as a Wildlife Friend
Our Wildlife Friend role was specifically created for wildlife and animal lovers to get involved over the Coronation weekend in 2023 and we are thrilled to have carried it through into our 200th Birthday year and beyond!

Volunteering for us
Volunteer for us using our ‘One day volunteering’ booklet. The booklet is filled with activities that you can do by yourself or with a group in your own time. The actions you take help support animals and our advocacy work.
Download the booklet for ideas on what you can do, including activities such as litter picks, helping our pet food banks and fundraising for us.
