Other sacred cows have to be looked at as well. HS2 springs to mind, as does Heathrow expansion. Not saying either should be cancelled necissarily, but they should be reconsidered and re-justified at the very least.
One sacred cow I'd definitely get rid of is the Triple Lock. Remove the 2.5% for certain. I'd consider removing the rise with inflation too, meaning pensions would be linked to real wages - we're all in this together, so if workers recovered pensioners would too. But it's only the 2.5% rise that I'm absolutely certain has to go.

This feels like a non-starter. You cannot expect anyone, old or young, to forgo income they likely need to pay for necessities to volunteer without adequate recompense. There are very few people that could afford it.
Of course, one of the few groups that probably could afford it, due to personal wealth and second/previous jobs, would be MPs...
