Impact Of The Economic Recession On Voluntary Sector

EDM number 1378 in 2008-09, proposed by Bob Spink on 28/04/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Voluntary organisations.

That this House notes with concern the wide-ranging and adverse effects of the global economic recession; recognises the growing problem of unemployment facing British workers; commends those unemployed workers who have turned to the voluntary sector as a way to gain new skills, get a head-start in an highly competitive job market and make valuable use of their time out of work; and calls on the Government to further promote the merits of voluntary work and the benefits it offers people seeking a route back into employment.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
