    Hi guys,

    I am hoping to return to college next year to train as a chef, i am thinking about asking my local restaurant can i volunteer 1 or 2 evenings a week to get some experience. Will this effect my jobseekers allowance in any way?

    By evenings do you meantime night shift? If this is the case then no it should not affect your jsa... however if you volounteering extends to daytime hours it would.
