If you do decide to become a member of Sheffield Maternity Forum then you can claim 40p per mile when travelling to meetings by car and any bus fares. We prefer you to travel by car or public transport but if you should need to travel by taxi then we will reimburse you.
Unless otherwise mentioned on this website, there will be no creche or play facilities at the Children’s Centres hosting the meetings; this is because over half of them will be held in the early evening. You are very welcome to bring along your baby but if prefer to leave your child with a friend or family member then you can claim £25. All you need to do is attach a note to your expenses claim form, from your chosen childcare provider, saying something along the following lines:
