Receipt #34513 to Leyton Ward Mutual Aid

----Expenses Policy and Considerations----

These funds are to be used to help people in financial difficulties with the costs of groceries, household items, prescriptions etc.

We want to avoid making judgements of which items are essential or unessential and which items people should have or not have have due to their financial situation. However, it is important that people requesting items are aware that many in the community are also in difficulty and that we need to support as many people as we can with limited funds. People need to be mindful of this when choosing which items to request.

Please bring any queries about particular requests to the Leyton Ward WhatsApp group for discussion (in an anonymised from to protect identities of people involved).

At times we may need to have conversations about what requests are reasonable based on current level of collective need and the current funds of the group. Anonymised information about the current financial need of the group and current funds of the collective can be accessed freely and discussed. Encourage people to get involved with the Mutual Aid Group themselves, we all need each other and to think of eachother.

----Expense Submission and Reimbursement----

The accountant who makes payments for The Social Change Agency, our fiscal host, works on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. This means that, for example, expenses submitted on Friday should be reimbursed the following Monday.

So we can keep track of expenses, the expense title should include:

• Your first name
• The street name for the shopping
• The date you delivered the shopping
• Example: Alex - Osborne Road - 11/5/20

Expense title and information can be viewed publicly so please don't include personal information about yourself or the person receiving items.

So we can verify the expenses, a photo of a valid receipt(s) for the purchased items will need to be submitted with the expense request.

Paypal will charge our group a fee for reimbursement but bank transfer is free. To be reimbursed by bank transfer under Payout Method choose "New custom payout method" and in the Info box write: Name Account number Sort code

If you have any issues with submitting expenses, please email [email protected] or text 07446258318 or 7850 554259.
