    Good on you for wanting to volunteer, but the problem is, I've been told by more than one person that volunteering doesn't count as actual "work" on my CV, even though over the last nearly 31 years I've worked on a voluntary basis for nearly every registered Charity in Sheffield.

    Look on your local council's website. they'll have info on volunteering, and where you can find opportunities.
