Wow! If I was unemployeed I'd be jumping all over this. Shame I'm full time with mortgage, et al. I'd love to do something like this. Certainly a peachy opportunity for someone to pick up some skills and boost their CV.

Axe is unemployed, and from what I recall, has excellent qualifications.

This would definitely be a feather in his cap!

 

Of course, the location is probably entirely wrong

Please ignore my larking about - this is actually a very very good opotunity for someone and a worthwhile cause to boot. Good luck to all who apply and I'm lucky meny here I'm envious because I'm not in a position to apply.

If it wasn't for the fact I couldn't survive in the centre of london without pay I would be applying for this. Very worthwhile cause.
