    although I did read somewhere about an actual form VW1 springs to mind, sorry I can't remember, but I would advise check with your local office BEFORE starting volunteer work. You know how sometimes they can be... well you know what I mean I'm sure. Good Luck.:)

    EDIT : Oh and make sure to stress that you are still looking for work and are AVAILABLE for interviews/work at all times :-)

    Voluntary work is a good way to keep active, learn new skills and get involved in your local community. You may do some unpaid work as a volunteer and keep your social welfare payment. However, you must continue to meet all the conditions attached to your payment.

    Your Social Welfare Local Office or the section paying your social welfare payment will usually decide whether you can keep your social welfare payment and work as a volunteer.
