Great topic. A topic that everyone should be aware of. UK is one of the world’s famous, wealthy and stable country so it’s most importtant for a leader to seek his countrymen’s comments regarding this matter. Cheers!

Once again we see a government minister chasing public opinion (or that of middle England) rather than having the courage to lead and try and set it. I’m sure when the public mood changes we will see another U-turn!

The problem of devaluing the unpaid efforts of people on low incomes in communities across the UK goes very deep. Much of the volunteering they do is ‘informal’ – e.g. accompanying people to hospital, dropping in on housebound neighbours, cooking, cleaning, childcare, advice and mentoring. A lot of this, when done by wealthier volunteers, is highly lauded – compare corporate volunteers who get paid time off to volunteer, yet do so in projects with volunteers who are on benefits and getting hassle from the benefits office and from society because they are ‘failing’ to get a ‘proper job’.
