Personal Stories

Stories & experiences of Workfare

  1. Threatened with sanctions if I do not attend.
  2. Community Work Placement' -mandatory activity. I was referred back to Jobcentre after refusing to to sign a 'volunteer' application form at the begin of the 'Fareshare' mandatory community work placement ,now waiting to see if I will be sanctioned.I was willing to do the 30 hours per week, but they refused to allow me to ,because I would not sign 'volunteer' application form.As far as I am concerned, this 'so called' charity is getting paid to exploit poor unemployed ,and at the same time claiming to help poor people with food .Seems a bit ironic.
  3. multi million pound company using work programme as a substitute for paid staff, the people in the warehouse stand around for75% of the day doing and learning nothing, and being spoken to like dirt
