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

[Shane Carey]

Hi Ed,

Might be a good idea to come up with a 'back to work' or 'prep for work'
business case to justify the volunteers spending the time at the station -
comparing it with the (lack) of job readiness development they'd get unpaid
in Next to Nowt Land.

I can connect you into a couple of senior people at JC+ to put the case to
- from their point of view, if you can demonstrate you're making claimants
more ready for work than the existing options, you're practically doing
their job for them.

Happy to chat if you like.

best, Shane
