Volunteering for what?

Volunteering within community, ie planting trees, helping to prepare for festivals. I read somewhere that volunteering, ie Olympics volunteering, has a positive impact on ILR since you are trying to be a good citizen.

or not true?

Oh right, so you don't actually want to do this, you merely think it will serve to blow pixie dust in the face of the caseworker who then automatically approves your ILR?

If you dont have work permission on visa, like student or visit, you simply cannot work legally either paid or un-paid, for charity or community or NGO or London Stock Exchange.
