We shared today that we’ll be running The Big Help Out in 2026 rather than this year. In this @thirdsector.co.uk blog I’ve explained why we took the decision to pause. We’re looking forward to building someone special next year.
In 2024, we ran The Big Help Out for a second time as part of Volunteers Week. It was, in many ways, the ‘tricky second album’ - @thisismatthyde.bsky.social

Good to be writing for Third Sector again - on what the charity sector can expect from the Government in 2025
"2025 is the year warm words must become action. There's isn't time to waste when it comes to getting volunteers and cash through charities' doors.” writes our Chief Executive @matthyde.bsky.social.

Find out what the sector can expect from the Gov in 2025.

Matt Hyde: What can the sector expect from the government this year?
It’s a critical year for the government to shift from sentiment to real action

I loved last night’s Sir Paul McCartney’s gig so much. One of the best gigs I have seen. A total legend - and with Ringo also. 36 songs in nearly 3 hours at the age of 82. I suppose it’s something to aspire to!

They say you shouldn’t meet your heroes. There is an exception and it is Sir Michael Palin. I wrote to him as a teenager and he wrote a very funny letter back. He is a lovely man and a true national treasure.

I joined Blue Sky this week, which means I only need to check 7 platforms now. I’m as excited as when I had to subscribe to 5 channels to watch sport.
