Claimants of welfare benefits such as Jobseekers Allowance,
Income Support, Incapacity Benefit and Disability Living
Allowance are entitled to volunteer without losing their
benefits. There are some important provisos though, which
potential volunteers should be aware of before going ahead with
their voluntary work.
For further information read the Volunteering and Welfare Benefits document. December 2005
