UK’s Coronation celebrations to conclude with Big Help Out volunteering drive
London, May 8 (PTI) The long celebratory Coronation weekend in the UK will conclude on Monday with a nationwide volunteering initiative entitled the Big Help Out, made up of around 8 million opportunities for charities and local communities to participate in volunteering initiatives.
Conceived by Buckingham Palace as a tribute to the newly crowned King Charles III’s focus on public service, the Big Help Out encourages people from all walks of life to try volunteering for themselves and join the work being undertaken to support their local areas.
While British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and wife Akshata Murty joined the initiative at a lunch club, Opposition Labour leader Keir Starmer answered calls for the National Health Service (NHS) volunteer responders programme.
