# Claiming expenses

Walk leaders and committee members claim travel and other group costs from [Expenses](https://ngx-ramblers.org.uk/admin/profile/expenses "{{siteUrl}}").

## What you can claim

- Travel for a recce of a walk you have not led before
- Travel to attend a committee meeting
- Other group costs, with a copy of the receipt, or a short note if a receipt is not available

Mileage is the miles you enter multiplied by the group's cost per mile. The treasurer sets that rate on [Committee Settings](https://ngx-ramblers.org.uk/admin/settings/committee-settings "{{siteUrl}}").

## Create a claim

1. Open [Expenses](https://ngx-ramblers.org.uk/admin/profile/expenses "{{siteUrl}}") from Admin.
2. Choose **Add Expense Claim**.
3. Choose **Add Item** and pick the type: **Travel (walk reccie)**, **Travel (attend committee meeting)**, or **Other**.
4. For travel, enter from, to, miles, and whether it is a return journey. The cost is filled in for you. For other costs, enter a description, the amount, and attach a receipt.
5. Add further items if needed, then **Submit Claim**.

The committee is emailed when you submit. After two approvals the treasurer marks the claim **Claim Paid**. If something needs changing, the claim can be returned so you can edit it and submit again.

If Expenses is not in your Admin menu, ask a committee member, or use Contact Us on your group's website.
