Furloughed, but looking for voluntary work....

[Turn7]

Im going insane with this sittting around and just want to get out and do something, not really bothered what.

Not looking to make any money, so after advice on where to post my details if that makes sense?

My old man did a lot for Workaid, so i'll be speaking to him so see if they need anyone.

Looking at the usual voluntary type places. seems a lot are over subscribed and make things quite complicated, ie police checks etc.

Quite happy to do driving, fork lift/warehouse stuff, handy man type work etc etc really.

Just feels a waste for me to sit at home when I could be helping somewhere.

Might be a bit late, but we ve had someone in the village thats at a loose end and hes been going round and doing bits of gardening for the old folks that are isolating.

Any good with animals? Local animal shelter were appealing for volunteers today due to a spike in families giving up their pets.

Very, and have checked the local rescue centres - they look to have more than enough extra help based on FB responses....

Have you thought about signing up for Uber eats, Deliveroo, Just Eats, Amazon etc? Use the money earned to fund your insurance and give the rest to charity. Could get you out of the house and would be an excuse to go for a drive/bike ride etc.

Dont think I can earn anything whilst furloughed ?

You can earn cash for other employers with no issues. You have been misinformed of a myth

Your current employer might say 'not in normal working hours' but pretty unlikely based on the employers I know.
