The King and Queen, alongside Federal President Steinmeier and Ms. Büdenbender, have joined a reception in partnership with The Big Help Out to showcase the positive impact of volunteering in communities.
The Big Help Out was first launched in 2023, during The King’s Coronation weekend, to encourage people to get involved with volunteering.
The Big Help Out has inspired Federal President Steinmeier to launch Germany’s very own volunteering day “Ehrentag”. The first nationwide “Ehrentag” will take place on May 23, 2026 – the anniversary of the German Basic Law.
