Siobhan: Quality Volunteering

Last week I read an interesting article on the Third Sector blog written by Kaye Wiggins ‘What’s better for job seekers – Poundland or Quality Volunteering?’ In it Kaye discusses mandatory work placements and compares these with quality volunteering opportunities.

Cait was forced to postpone her volunteering at a museum while carrying out her 2 week placement.
