Closed Make anyone who claims benefits do a few hours of community service a day

Closed on

Anyone who claims benefits because they don't work, should be made to do a few hours of community service each day. I feel this would help as they are earning the money and giving back to the community, there is no reason for people to be getting money without working for it.

This can also give people who are unable to find work added experience towards their CV, possibly making it easier for them to find a job in the future.
