JSA and voluntary work

I worked for a local youth charity, in Lancaster. Have a look in the yellow pages to see if there are some local to you. They would snap you up.

This is the bit that has stopped me. Apparently my local primary school can afford to pay me for my time...

Do they not have any reading volunteers? When mine were that age, every class had AT LEAST one volunteer who would hear children read.

Failing that, an afterschool club?

Nothing that lamb posted says voluntary work can only be done for a charity.

Guiding or Scouting? There are currently 50,000 girls waiting to join Guiding, who can't due to a lack of leaders.

Apologies if the guiding one doesn't work, they updated the website last week, and i'm still a bit lost!
