Claiming benefits
People often worry about how they will make ends meet if they choose to volunteer. The Conservation Volunteers is a registered charity and as such you are legally entitled to volunteer full time for The Conservation Volunteers and still claim Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) and housing benefit, depending upon your domestic arrangements. Many (in fact most) of our staff have volunteered at some point and so please feel free to have a chat if you are unsure about your position.
