**The Jubilee Hour campaign is encouraging people mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee
next month by committing to 60 minutes of volunteering or a similar “act of goodwill”.
The hour of activity can be completed at any time during 2012.**

The campaign, supported by Hello! magazine, aimed to attract one million hours of
pledges. It reached that total within a day, so is aiming to increase that total
further.

Previous donate an hour campaigns have included [The Children’s Promise](https://fundraising.co.uk/ministers039-yes)
campaign which urged people to donate the value of their last hour of work in 1999
to mark the coming Millennium. This was complemented by the First Cheque 2000 campaign
to encourage people to make their first cheque of the new Millennium a charitable
gift.
