Hi
Can someone please advise what benefits are available to people who take up a volunteering job. I am on JSA at the moment but really interested in a voluntering job as it matches my qualifications. Going to see them on Monday so any help ASAP would be much appreciated. :help:
Regards,
Max

Volunteering will not affect your benefits. Call the Volunteers Centre (http://www.varotherham.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=8&Itemid=43)to find out more.

La Emme If you have qualifications why not get a job and stop claiming benefits?
