Expenses related to Events Attendance:

We will pay for the following reasonable expenses:
Bus tickets;
Parking costs when free parking is not available;
Mileage costs at a rate of 45p per mile;
Taxi (if this is the only option);
Childcare costs;
Costs of a translator or interpreter;
Costs of a personal assistant or support worker.

There are two methods of submitting an expense claim: invoice and reimbursement.

Invoice
Invoice requests should be submitted if you need the money to pay for travel before the event. You will need to submit an estimated cost, such as a train ticket quote, estimated miles driven to and from the event destination, or daily charges for inner-city travel.

Reimbursement
Reimbursement requests should be submitted if you have already paid for the cost. You will need to submit any relevant receipts along with your claim.

We will pay automatically on any expense up to £50. We anticipate most costs won’t exceed £50 but if you think you will need more than that, please let us know so we can manage our budget accordingly.

All expenses will be paid through the Open Collective system. Expenses are not considered the same as earnings or payment. If you are in receipt of Universal Credit, but are unsure how to explain this, please contact us.
