[cma-l] Volunteers, charity, and back to work schemes

Here at gateway 97,8  we are registered with our job centre and there
providers to take people on work schemes
They come here for 6 months,  they have to sign in and out at the radio
station electronically 
They still get there benefit plus extra for travel,#

Not sure what it is like around the rest of the country,  but we have
noticed a decline in volunteers who are out of work due to the process you
mentioned,

Dear all,

I wonder if anyone in the CMA world is up to date on how to address the
back-to-work schemes which apparently oblige people to work in Poundland and
such like; and prevent them accordingly from volunteering at our radio
station.

Several volunteers here are distressed that instead of being able to offeri
us their services, they are being forced to take more or less unpaid work
elsewhere. I do not know how best to address this nor whom to approach.

Any constructive advice would be appreciated.

Thanks and a Happy New Year!
Yours

Ed


PS I really do not wish to start a long thread about the iniquities of
government policy, the shoddy goods on sale at bucket shops, the brutalities
of post-industrial capitalism, the true nature of the PRS, etc.
