Hi @FAFB, that sounds like a rewarding place to volunteer. There's some information on ESA's permitted work here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/employment-and-support-allowance-permitted-work-form

It says to tell them when you start work whether it's paid or unpaid, so it would be best to let them know when you're starting your new volunteer position ☺️ hope it goes well!
