Hi everyone I volunteer in a charity shop and a hospital and for a children's organisation I'm just wondering if there's any help out there. My manager said today she doesn't want us out of pocket for volunteering but it's the only way I can get to go to my volunteering.

I'm not aware of any financial help with this. Access to work covers paid work and not volunteering, sadly. https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work/eligibilityI would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

@durhamjaide2001 Can I ask, are you under a work coach at the job centre? I wonder if your job centre knows of any local funding that helps with travel expenses when volunteering?Hannah - She / Her

@durhamjaide2001
You’re doing a great job doing all the volunteering you’re doing.
Would the places you’re doing your volunteering maybe help you with this, it’s worth asking.
