Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)

This morning we had a 3 month contract review, with DWP, on the volunteering scheme which WCVA is working on in Wales with the Volunteer Centres here. This matches those who have been claiming Job Seekers Allowance for 6 months to volunteering positions, if they are interested in volunteering. Claimants do not have to do this, it is entirely up to them. This was a helpful meeting.
