Here at Bath & North East Somerst Volunteer Centre we have signed up to the KVV Campaign. This was launched in April 2014 in response to the implementation of the governments Help to Work programme, which included mandatory 6-month placements in voluntary groups linked to benefit sanctions for non-compliance. The idea of KVV emerged at the Welfare Action Gathering that was held in London in February 2014. Their purpose is to end the use of workfare in the voluntary sector by encouraging as many organisations as possible to make a commitment not to participate in it, and to publicise that commitment. A group of volunteers carry out the day to day running of the campaign with particular support from members of NCIA and boycott workfare. To sign up or to find out more visit kvv.org
