Travel subsidy is a grant towards your group’s Conference travel costs only. It is open to groups who cannot otherwise afford to attend Conference and is on a first come first served basis.

How to apply

If your return travel costs to Conference exceed £40 per person, you can claim for the remainder of the costs. For example if your travel costs total £70, we can reimburse you for £30. Please ensure that the travel costs that you claim for are the cheapest advance purchase available.

Only one delegate per group can apply. Any group incurring high travel costs may apply.

If you are applying for full accommodation and attendance subsidy, you maynotapply for travel subsidy as well.

  • Enclose payment for your attendance fee (£35.00)
  • Book and pay for your accommodation directly with the EMCC as detailed in the booking form
  • Keep hold of any travel/petrol receipts incurred getting to conference

What happens next?

We will contact you either by email, phone or letter to confirm whether we can award you a travel subsidy. If successful, we will send you an expenses claim form in your August delegate mailing (which you will need to hand in at Conference with your outward ticket/copies of tickets) so that you can claim back your agreed travel costs.
