Volunteer Expenses

Caledonian & Barnsbury Wards Covid Mutual Aid is a collective set up to support those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Carlisle district, United Kingdom.

Expenses are payable to volunteers for expenses incurred whilst undertaking agreed activities with the Caledonian & Barnsbury Wards Covid Mutual Aid coordination group. Volunteers will be contacted with activities required and are expected to front the cost. Upon production of a valid receipt, expenses will be approved.

Expenses are only payable for tasks the Caledonian & Barnsbury Wards Covid Mutual Aid asks you to undertake, and tasks volunteers undertake to do themselves will be considered an act of kindness.

Expenses are not payable for means or methods of travel, and this is up to the individual volunteer to meet.

Examples of acceptable expenses: Receipt of essential food agreed to by Caledonian & Barnsbury Wards Covid Mutual Aid group. Receipt of paid-for prescriptions.

Examples of non-acceptable expenses: Requests for non-essential items, for example, alcohol. Travel expenses. Requests for money as an income replacement.

All expenses our team requests will be made public knowledge to remain transparent as a group.

We will revisit this policy as necessary whilst the COVID-19 pandemic develops. Version correct as at 05/04/2020.

You must upload a valid receipt or invoice clearly showing the total amount, date, legal address, and what the payment is for.
