VfH Social Media Post – 8th September 2026

Lots of people think they can not volunteer but they can!

Including people on benefits (they may need to tell the DWP.)

Volunteering does not count as work, but it can help in finding employment.

Check out Volunteers for Health, Northants table on Volunteering on Benefits for more information.

Looking for a volunteer role? Check out Community Action Northants.

If you would like more advice on how to support volunteers on benefits check out the Volunteers for Health, Northants Volunteer Toolkit. #VolunteersForHealth #Volunteeringforall #VolunteeringonBenefits
