Wow… our teams are busy this June!

Across the UK, Tempo teams have been working incredibly hard to bring communities together for a packed programme of fun, meaningful and wellbeing-focused activities this month.

From beach cleans and yoga sessions to community walks and volunteer celebration days, there’s a real buzz building across our network, and we couldn’t be more excited to be taking part in The Big Help Out 2026.

The Big Help Out is all about celebrating volunteering, encouraging people to get involved in their communities and recognising the amazing impact volunteers make every single day.

And honestly? That couldn’t align more perfectly with Tempo and our mission!

For us, The Big Help Out is more than just a campaign. It’s a chance to:

• Celebrate our incredible volunteers

• Welcome new people into volunteering

• Bring communities together

• Create moments of connection and joy

• Show how rewarding giving time can be

And of course.. there’ll be opportunities to earn Time Credits too!

Here’s a look at some of the amazing events happening across the UK this June
