Protesters converged on the shop in Deanhaugh Street on the morning of 29th June, following reports of the charity&#8217;s involvement in the Community Work Placements scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Edinburgh Coalition Against Poverty protesters explained to the shop manager how claimants were forced to work for nothing under threat of sanctions, and urged Hospices of Hope to join the near 600 charities who have signed the Keep Volunteering Voluntary agreement to boycott workfare.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">After a short discussion the manager agreed to withdraw from the schemes, and end all placements immediately. She promised to tell workfare provider Learndirect that the shop would take no more placements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Now ECAP have approached the other Hospices of Hope shops in Edinburgh, at Tollcross and Gorgie, and urged their managers to take the same principled stand. We are also contacting Hospices of Hope head office to ask the charity as a whole to sign up to Keep Volunteering Voluntary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Buoyed by this success on 29th June, demonstrators next moved a few doors down Deanhaugh Street and visited notorious workfare users DEBRA. The manager here explained that the decision to use workfare came from higher up the charity. A phone call to the DEBRA area manager confirmed their continued use of the exploiting schemes, and as ECAP protesters took up position at the door of the DEBRA charity shop, the manager closed the shop for the duration of the one and a half hour protest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">KEEP VOLUNTEERING VOLUNTARY\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.keepvolunteeringvoluntary.net\/\">http:\/\/www.keepvolunteeringvoluntary.net\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><br \/>\nDEBRA write: &#8220;For any concerns or compliments regarding our charity shops please contact tricia.mckale@debra.org.uk&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t.huge-it-share-buttons {\r\n\t\t\t\tborder:0px solid #0FB5D6;\r\n\t\t\t\tborder-radius:5px;\r\n\t\t\t\tbackground:#3BD8FF;\r\n\t\t\t text-align:left; \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t#huge-it-share-buttons-top {margin-bottom:0px;}\r\n\t\t\t#huge-it-share-buttons-bottom {margin-top:0px;}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.huge-it-share-buttons h3 {\r\n\t\t\t\tfont-size:25px ;\r\n\t\t\t\tfont-family:Arial,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;\r\n\t\t\t\tcolor:#666666;\r\n\r\n\t\t\tdisplay:block;\t\t\t\tline-height:25px ;\r\n\r\n\t\t\t text-align:left; \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.huge-it-share-buttons ul {\r\n\t\t\t float:left; \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.huge-it-share-buttons ul li {\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left:3px;\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin-right:3px;\r\n\t\t\t\tpadding:0px;\r\n\t\t\t\tborder:0px ridge #E6354C;\r\n\t\t\t\tborder-radius:11px;\r\n\t\t\t\tbackground-color:#14CC9B;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.huge-it-share-buttons ul li #backforunical306 {\r\n\t\t\t\tborder-bottom: 0;\r\n\t\t\t\tbackground-image:url('https:\/\/edinburghagainstpoverty.org.uk\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-share-buttons\/Front_end\/..\/images\/buttons.20.png');\r\n\t\t\t\twidth:20px;\r\n\t\t\t\theight:20px;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.front-shares-count {\r\n\t\t\t\tposition: absolute;\r\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\r\n\t\t\t\tdisplay: block;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.shares_size20 .front-shares-count {\r\n\t\t\t\tfont-size: 10px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttop: 10px;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 20px;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.shares_size30 .front-shares-count {\r\n\t\t\t\tfont-size: 11px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttop: 15px;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 30px;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.shares_size40 .front-shares-count {\r\n\t\t\t\tfont-size: 12px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttop: 21px;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 40px;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<div id=\"huge-it-share-buttons-top\" class=\"huge-it-share-buttons nobackground\">\r\n\t\t\t<h3>Share This:<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"huge-it-share-buttons-list \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"nobackground \" >\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a id=\"backforunical306\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=edinburghagainstpoverty.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F306\"  onclick=\"javascript:void window.open('https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=edinburghagainstpoverty.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F306','1410949501326','width=700,height=500,toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=0,status=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,left=0,top=0');return false;\" style=\"background-position: -0px -80px \"><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"nobackground \" >\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a id=\"backforunical306\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?status=edinburghagainstpoverty.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F306&text=VICTORY!
