#BigHelpOut The dates for this year’s Big Help Out weekend have been confirmed by HRH King Charles III To mark the launch of the second Big Help Out, which will be staged over three days from Friday 7 June to Sunday 9 June, the King said: "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." The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, were among the volunteers to take part, helping out a Scout group in Slough. The Wales family volunteered with the Scouts last year. The King added in his message: "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." (fb)
