Volunteering while on benefits

You can volunteer as many hours as you like while you are on benefits as long as you still meet the terms for getting them.

If you are claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance, this will mean you still need to look for paidwork. You must be free to go to an interview if you are given 48 hours' notice.You must be able to start work within one week of Jobcentre Plus giving you notice.
