Is it possible for an illegal immigrant to do voluntary work?
His signing paper will specify that he is not allowed to take any employment, however voluntary work is allowed, and it is also allowed for basic expenses to be paid (bus fare, lunch). There are rules to prevent someone “volunteering” in what is really a job. He may find it dificult to get voluntary work as most organisations need you to be abkle to make a commitment over a year; many will also want to do a CRB check, with five years’ address history; but it’s still worth him approaching different groups. He should explain to him about his situation, and if they are uncertain about his status they can call the number of the immigration reporting centre on his signing paper. His signing paper will also state that he has been granted Temporary Admission; he is not “illegal”.
