THE hot topics for March with West Devon's Connect outreach service will be volunteering and ways to employment.

Taking part in the regular drop-in sessions during the month will be organisations including Community Voluntary Service, DCC careers in child care, Community Transport, Citizens Advice Bureau, RNID and Devon Wheels 2 Work.

Job Centre Plus will add to the range of services available on one date, March 8, at the Bere Alston venue, Hope Cottage.

All those involved will be able to provide practical help and support for people wanting to get back to work. Advice and guidance on a variety of routes to employment will be available, from volunteering to retraining.

A Connect adviser will also be at each session, providing information on a wide range of other public services.
