Brief letters: Charity volunteers | The magic of kitchen objects | Bread on the table | Vegan amore divino | M&S cyber-attack

There is already a form of youth experience programme (EU may accept 12-month work visas for ‘youth experience’ scheme with UK, 25 April), not only for EU citizens but for any nationality to come to the UK. It’s the non-renewable one-year charity worker visa. Many charities, including religious communities such as mine in Dorchester, value the enthusiasm and international experience these young volunteers bring.

• Bee Wilson’s article (Death, divorce and the magic of kitchen objects, 29 April) reminded me that the only thing my daughter has specifically asked me to leave her in my will is her great-grandmother’s potato peeler, which still works efficiently after at least 70 years.

• I have a small, round board roughly engraved with “Bread” – a wedding gift to my mother in 1942 from her grandmother. The donor, wife of a charcoal burner and mother of 17 children, was making the most important wish she could for a 19-year-old bride: may you always have bread on your table. It worked. I can’t bear to get rid of it.

• Were it not for the amore divinos (to name but one) at Savino’s in Emmanuel Street, Cambridge, I would surely follow Susan Sayers’ daughter to Bologna for wonderful gluten-free treats (Letters, 28 April).

• This is not just a cyber-attack – it’s an M&S cyber-attack (Report, 29 April).
