    Hi jane and welcome

    Volunteering is a very noble thing to do, but you must be careful that what you do does not contravene the reasons that you are claiming benefits.
    For example, if you claim mobility then being a volunteer delivering leaflets may not be a good idea

    Be all you can be, make  every day count. Namaste
