NESLC 'Bottom Up' Application Process - Instructions for OrganisersNESLC are delighted to announce that their very popular 'Bottom Up' subsidy scheme is now back up and running! PolicyThe bottom up policy was introduced in recognition of the fact that while many NESLC members do not want to organise large events for NESLC members throughout the Newcastle Estate, many organise smaller events for colleagues and friends. An event must be claimed for by a Head of Party (HOP). The HOP must be an NESLC member and the claim can only be made for those attendees who are also NESLC members. As HOP you are responsible for making the initial application to NESLC on behalf of all members prior to the event and then producing valid receipts for all members to the NESLC administrator within 6 months of the event date. Claims submitted after an event will not be considered. The cost of event must be a minimum of £10 per member and at least 5 NESLC members must attend the event. The £10 is exclusive of alcohol, cigarettes and anything gambling related (i.e. lottery tickets, betting tab etc) NESLC have set aside £500.00 per month for Bottom Up events January – November. The budget will be set on a rolling period therefore any monies left over will be added to the next month and so on. Therefore, there will be instances when applications will be rejected as the monthly budget has been exhausted. Only 4 subsidies allowed per member per calendar year (January to December) All parts of the process must be completed, before a Head of Party can make a further application. The officers, committee and administrators of NESLC are all volunteers and carry out these roles in their own time. Please allow up to 8 weeks for payment after valid receipts have been sent to administrator. Process1. Let us know where you are going and how much it will cost in total for the whole party and for each person taking part. 2. Complete the enclosed application form electronically including the details of yourself and each of the other NESLC member taking part (leave the signature column blank) and save it. 3. When complete send application to claire.porter@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk 4. As quickly as possible, we will decide if the NESLC members within your group can receive a conditional subsidy (i.e. subject to the application remaining unchanged) and, if so, how much for each member included in the application. You will be advised of the decision by Claire. 5. If your application is conditionally accepted the form will be emailed to the respective HASSRA and / or RCSL membership secretaries to check the validity of the members within your party you are claiming for. 6. If your event includes alcohol, you must ask for two separate receipts, one covering non alcohol related expenses and one covering alcohol related expenses. 7. After the event, you must send Claire your application form and evidence to prove that you have paid for the total numbers attending, (e.g. 10 attending at £10 per head, Claire must receive an 'official' receipt from the venue stating £100 paid to them). It is accepted that the costs for the NESLC members may be included in the receipt for a larger party that included non-members. You should send the receipt(s) stapled to a hard copy of the Application Form and keep a copy of your receipts. This documentation should be sent to Claire Porter, BP3001. 8. NESLC will then pay a cheque to you, as the event organiser for the total amount of subsidy agreed, e.g. 8 members @ £5 per member agreed subsidy = cheque for £40. 9. You must then obtain the signature of each NESLC member who received a subsidy on a hard copy of the Application Form to confirm that they have received their subsidy. The hard copy with the signatures should then be sent to Claire Porter, BP3001. 10. A random check of 10% of those receiving a subsidy will be undertaken to ensure that they did, in fact, take part in the event. 11. Any discrepancy in the 10% check will lead to a 100% check being undertaken. If a subsidy is claimed for a member found not to have partaken in the event, the subsidy must be repaid. 12. Please be patient, these applications are very popular and payment can take between 6 – 12 weeks. For further information contact Claire.porter@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk DO NOT CALL THEM AT WORK THEY ARE VOLUNTEERS AND ONLY UNDERTAKE THIS ROLE IN THERE SPARE TIME.
