Yes, where possible.
Volunteers give their time free of charge.
Not all volunteers can afford to bear the costs that they incur by volunteering and might, if not reimbursed, be dissuaded from volunteering. Any church, which cannot pay expenses, will probably deprive itself of obtaining volunteers from large sections of the community. If your church is unable to refund expenses, it is only fair to make this abundantly clear in any recruitment literature, so that any prospective volunteer knows the full facts before embarking on any application. A clear scheme, listing which expenses you are prepared to refund, the rates you will pay and whether or not advances are allowed. A clear and straightforward claims procedure of which all volunteers are made aware and are able to understand.
