Expense policies

To request a bank transfer, please select "Other" and put in your sort code and account number in the instructions box. To use paypal, please provide your paypal address as requested. Payments are made Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, in line with the fiscal host's working hours.

PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING: This policy is to ensure that everyone has access to necessities regardless of income. We understand that some people may not have access to cash or online banking and that some volunteers may not be able or willing to pay for necessities, but we do not think that this should mean that we do not support these people. This expenses policy only relates to requests received through the Springfield Mutual Aid group. Any volunteer who carries out a request may apply for certain expenses incurred to be refunded up to the cost of £50 per household, per week apart from in exceptional circumstances.

These expenses include: Payment for food; Payment for essential household items; Payment for medicine; Topping up utilities (eg. gas, electric, phone, water); Travel to carry out a request; Or Any other necessities up to the amount of £50 per week per household

Initially we are limiting financial support requests to one per week, per unit to ensure that we have enough money to support everyone we can. A unit is a group of 2 or more people that live together and share resources. This can be a family, housemates, friends, or couples. A house can have more than one unit living in it.

If the requester is outside of Springfield and needs financial support, we will endeavour to support them as a one-off, and will signpost them to local groups and support.

If you have covered the costs of someone's shopping and would like to be refunded, please submit an "expense" through this page. Please ensure you upload a picture of the receipt, and that you inform one of the finance admins that you have submitted this. Please do NOT include the requester's name, or any identifiable details on the expense, as this will be publicly visible.

If possible, please choose to be refunded via bank transfer, as this does not incur any charges. We aim to process expenses within a week. If you need this money to be refunded more quickly, please get in touch via [email protected]

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