They say nothing in life comes for free. They're wrong.


Young volunteers having fun at Arsenal football stadiumWe were thinking about what would make your lives a little bit brighter. A little easier. A little more fun.

And so we started creating resources to give you a guiding hand when setting up events, with ideas and advice for inspiration. Our Handbooks and How-to Guides are going down a treat, with hundreds of you requesting them.

Then we thought - why stop there? So we created free lesson plans so that hardworking teachers can encourage teens to tackle social issues out of the classroom.

And who could forget our generously donated Divine Chocolate will go out to the first people who register their events online. They come as part of our incredible Action Packs, which also include t-shirts, certificates and posters to help you promote your event and thank volunteers.

To find out more about all the free stuff available, visit our resources page. Whoever gets the chocolate is up to you...
