## What's new

- Committee [Settings → Expenses](https://ngx-ramblers.org.uk/admin/profile/expenses "{{siteUrl}}") now uses 55p per mile as the Cost Per Mile for new sites, matching the HMRC rate that took effect from 6 April 2026.
- Groups still using the previous HMRC rate of 45p are updated to 55p. A group that already set a different local rate is left as it is.
- The Expenses help on that page explains the HMRC change, that 55p is a guide from Head office, that Groups and Areas may choose a lower local rate, and that questions can go to finance@ramblers.org.uk.
- Future expense claims use the updated Cost Per Mile. Claims already submitted keep the rate they were created with.
- Unity Trust Bank payment guidance on the expenses page is shown only to Finance Admin and Treasury Admin.
- Stacked expense claims have a gap below the history table on the right.
