my job centre suggested voulenteering work. you have to let the job centre know, so that if someone rings up and says that you are leaving for work every morning, they can check it out to make sure you aren't claiming fradulanlty or whatever. apparently there's stuff like walking peoples dogs to full on working in an office doing admin. It doesn't effect your job seekers claim, or your housing benefits.

Not checked it out yet, but it's what I plan to do with my summer. At least it gives me something to say that I have been doing rather than 'oh yeah. i didn't have a job for 3 years - but I am great. Honest'
