Blunderbuss Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 ]Good on you - it's always great to hear of people who do voluntary work and are happy to give up some of their free time for the benefit of others without seeking extra reward. Are you retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you retired? Retired at 32?! I should bloody well hope not mate. I do voluntary work based on the fact that for over 16 years I've been trying to get paid work, and because the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) of 1985 is not properly enforced IMO, I have been unsuccessful every time I try and make any kind of effort to accrue anything beyond unpaid volunteer work.

Rich Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I agree wholeheartedly Rich.Have you talked to Bridge Employment at all? Sadly not, to cut a long story short I trust Agencies, even disabled specific ones, even less than I could throw them to be honest.. Especially after some twit from Remploy last year took one look at my CV and told me it wasn't worth the paper it was printed on and practically accused me of lying about over 17 years of voluntary work right from when I worked at Krisalis Software in Rotherham from School in 1990.
