6. Travel subsidy

Limited funding will be made available to subsidize attendees’ travel expenditure up to ￡50 per person. Those who are going to make an oral presentation in the AGM will be given a priority to reimburse their travel expenses. All other registered attendees may be able to get a part reimbursement of their travel cost depending on the amount of fund remaining and the number of applicants. The subsidy will be provided in the balance of equity and practical needs. UK CARE has the final decision on the subsidy scheme.
