I would include it in the previous employement section but make sure you state that it was voluntary as employers like voluntary work! some application forms do say "also include any unpaid work in this section" so I would include it

When I started working all my experience was a voluntary work and I got the job. because the voluntary work helped you in doing a lot of work during this period. I worked in many field through my organization which gives me a great experience especially in dealing with people, and when the organization is well known this gives your experience a great value. good luck

put it in both. it looks good and also, your manager as a volunteer can be contacted as a reference.

worked in a charity shop, the manager is also a reference as well as previous employer.
I was told what I told you by a work training programme.

If your volunteer work is your current ‘work’, then by all means list it as your previous employer with the details of all your responsibilities (make sure you represent your roles in a strong way!). As previous employer, the company you are interviewing with will contact them, so that is why you should list it. Then mention the organization in a short version (only a couple sentences) in the volunteer section. I know volunteer work can have shifts and just as much — maybe more–responsibility than a paid job, so it is important to show your responsibilities. Good luck!

volunteer jobs are the same as regular paid jobs. The only difference is one pays and the other doesn't so you should not leave volunteer jobs out. When in the pay rate section for the volunteer job, just say zero or not paid or volunteer. The review will figure that out.

Yeh n your rent …
Yeh n your rent paid &council tax, prescriptions, dental, repairs on home, tell me exactly what you get off the state then including £ for your kids etc if u got any & what you get for them. Its a bloody gravy train & every time Alistair Darling talks about high earners its asthough they are dirt on his shoe. High earners are there because they got an education & did well for themselves & well paid jobs not because they were given it on a plate.
They earn well because they chose to do well!!
