Hitting the streets today? Take a look at this post for ideas for action, a leaflet and more info.

What we are doing works! On Wednesday, Boots became the latest high street name to withdraw from the Work Programme – one of several government workfare schemes which force people of all ages to work unpaid.

The organisations profiting from workfare can afford to pay a wage, but choose not to. This weekend, let’s make sure they know that the public won’t accept forced unpaid work in our communities. Workfare has got to go.
