King Charles says: "I have long believed that one of the greatest strengths of our nation is our ability to come together and help each other through times of hardship.

"Throughout my life, I have been encouraged and inspired by those selfless volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to helping others, across all communities and across the full breadth of our country."

According to the Mirror, he further said: "It was a source of great pride to my whole family that, thanks to all these millions who took part, the coronation became a moment not just to celebrate continuity and nationhood, but also the values that we have long held dear: kindness, compassion and service to others.

"As I said in my Christmas broadcast last year, this is all the more important at a time of real hardship for many, when we need to build on existing ways to support others less fortunate than ourselves. In so doing, we also bring out the best in ourselves."

Last year, over 6 million joined The Big Help Out held on 8th May 2023.

This year The Big Help Out will take place from 7th to 9th June, and more people than ever will be lending a hand.
