Please note this fund is for those who really need it to enable them to participate, we will not cover travel expenses or speaker allowances for consultants, charities or businesses. How much will Champions be able to claim for travel expenses? We will allocate a fixed pot of money to cover community energy champion travel expenses, this will be used on a first come first served basis and when it’s gone, it’s gone. We will try and continually keep this topped up through sponsorship but this depends on the generosity of businesses.  40p per mile up to a £40 limit  Plus an additional 5p per mile for every eligible passenger in your car attending the same event, up to a £50 limit  Travel via public transport up to a £50 limit Will Champions be paid for their time?
