Volunteer Reimbursement
We encourage our volunteers to seek reimbursement of any expenses incurred whilst supporting the Colinsburgh Community Trust.
This includes the cost of food products and ingredients, or other non-food costs, used or purchased when making food items for Community Food Hub services. Volunteers can also claim for travel and subsistence costs incurred when collecting food from our providers or when attending events like conferences or training courses or attending appointments (e.g. solicitor meeting).
Receipts and exact details are not required. If any volunteer prefers not to request full reimbursement, please indicate an alternative e.g. donation or FareShare items in lieu.
Even if reimbursement is not sought, this information can be used to demonstrate the funds contributed to the project by our volunteers or our fundraising which supports future requests for grant funding.
Click on the relevant button below to open an on-line form so you can fill out and submit your claim. Our treasurer will then contact you to arrange for reimbursement.
