la_emme   10 #1 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
