Hello all,
I am curious whether volunteering (unpaid) is possible and lawful for those on student visas without permission to work?
I am on my 9th year and thought it would be great to show when I apply for ILR next year? Any recommendations?

If you are applying on 10 yr route, whether you offered paid or free service , or even no service at all, does not matter. Stick to what is asked for in the form.

Don't break your visa conditions. Even unpaid or free work are not allowed. Why do want to start volunteering now,just before applying for your ILR.
