la_emme Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 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. Regards, Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloomdido Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Volunteering will not affect your benefits. Call the Volunteers Centre to find out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kate1984 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 La Emme If you have qualifications why not get a job and stop claiming benefits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la_emme Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 La Emme If you have qualifications why not get a job and stop claiming benefits?
