The post you are reporting:
Yep, Roger, but people who would like to do some work cannot, if there is no-one to offer it for them to do.
But I still keep to my statement, that the idea that unemployed people should work for nothing is no good.
My guess is, the Government couldn't care less about how to employ people within the local Community, or about giving Local Government access to more funds in order to offer wages in return for employment, such as you mentioned, cleaning parks, visiting the elderly, or any other task, such as I mentioned.
There would be plenty of work to do locally, but why unpaid and voluntary?
Voluntarily, I simply don't work for nothing. Can't afford it!
