Volunteer Expenses Claim Form

About this document

What it’s for

A claim form for volunteers to recover genuine out-of-pocket expenses, with a mileage log at HMRC approved rates, an itemised expenses table, a declaration and an approval section. It gives the treasurer an audit trail and helps protect the charity from paying anything that looks like a wage.

When to use it

  • Whenever a volunteer claims travel, parking, materials, meals or care costs
  • Monthly or after each activity, as your Volunteer Policy sets
  • For volunteers who want to claim and then donate the amount back

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Guidance for volunteers
  • Part 1 – Your details
  • Part 2 – Mileage log
  • Part 3 – Other expenses
  • Part 4 – Declaration
  • Part 5 – Approval
  • Part 6 – For finance use

How to complete it

  • Insert the current mileage rates and your claim deadline before printing
  • Volunteers complete Parts 1 to 4 and attach receipts
  • A different person approves the claim from the person claiming
  • Finance records payment details in Part 6 and files the form with receipts
