    I am unemployed and can not seem to find a job after a few interviews. I am so bored of sitting at home, anyone know of a place to volunteer around the city. I might as well try help someone with my spare time :(

    Hi there,

    Why not try to become a Leader for DLS Scouts or something like that? They provide a brilliant service to over 230 kids and have 70 leaders. It would look good on your CV too I think.

    It's something I've been thinking of too recently. The novelty of being unemployed is starting to wear off. I don't know if I'd be cut out for the brothers of charity or samaritans though, I'd imagine both would have a lot of responsibility.

    Sorry to divert your post, but is it true that you cannot claim doe if you are volunteering, as you are not technicaly available to work?

    Hopefully. It'd be a sad state of affairs if not
