In the case of a 1 - 2 days pw unpaid work experience, do you need to inform Social Welfare and what is the procedure, i.e. forms to fill out? Thanks.

You need to go into your local sw office and clear this with them before you do anything. For voluntary work...

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.
