We welcome the CBI's call for a review of the Approved Mileage Allowance Payment. We strongly agree, because of rising motoring costs. It's time to #ReviewAMAP and deliver a fair deal for volunteers and workers #SpringBudget
29 Feb 2024
The significant rise in fuel, maintenance and vehicle costs means that workers who use their own cars for business travel are putting off critical business trips, and risk being left out of pocket. 1/3

It was great to see cross-party support for the #ReviewAMAP campaign in the debate, along with recognition of the value of charities & volunteers. But now we need to see words being put into action by government.

MPs are to debate the Approved Mileage Allowance Payment (AMAP) and a potential review of the 2012 rate on 3 July. The Westminster Hall debate on 3 July will be led by Conservative MP, @ElliotColburn. We're engaging with other MPs from across the UK and from all parties to ask them to participate, support an urgent review of the AMAP rate and speak up for volunteer drivers. We're now asking for your help too. Can you contact your local MP and urge them to participate? With motoring costs 41.8% higher now than in 2012, an inflationary uplift is long overdue to protect the NHS, support Community Transport and keep volunteering affordable for all. #ReviewAMAP

Together, we can emphasize the need for an increased Approved Mileage Allowance Payment βœ… It does not reflect the real costs of motoring in 2023, leaving employees and volunteers out of pocket in the midst of a #CostOfLivingCrisis #ReviewAMAP bit.ly/3N0F6ys

Volunteer recruitment & retention will continue to deteriorate due to the Chancellor’s failure to #ReviewAMAP in his #SpringBudget today The knock-on impact will be devastating for our economy & our society. #CommunityTransport operators will have to withdraw essential services
CTA is utterly disappointed that @hmtreasury @Jeremy_Hunt failed to include the inflationary cost of motoring in the #SpringBudget. The knock-on impact of the Chancellor’s decision today will be devastating for our economy and our society. Our positionπŸ‘‰bit.ly/3lej3dA

Fingers-crossed...we hope @hmtreasury has included provisions for increasing the mileage allowance for motoring, as this will go a long way to incentivise volunteering and increase the vitality of community transport #springbudget #ReviewAMAP @Jeremy_Hunt @jcartlidgemp

CT drivers and travel buddies are often the only people service users have regular contact with - they become a lifeline! Comments like "I haven't seen or spoken to anyone in a while" or "my family live a long way away" can be key indicators to loneliness. #TacklingLoneliness

Fewer Community Transport services and volunteers will mean more missed appointments and delayed discharge (especially among older and disabled people), longer NHS waiting lists and greater pressure on public services. #ReviewAMAP @jcartlidgemp πŸšπŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘πŸ‘΅πŸ‘΄ πŸ‘‰bit.ly/3HC1Qlx

We have widespread evidence from charities and community groups of drivers who can no longer afford to volunteer at the current #AMAP rate. This situation is exacerbating existing and acute shortages of drivers in many communities. #ReviewAMAP
1.7million volunteers across the UK are directly involved in transport-related volunteering, including #CommunityTransport. The potential loss of their contribution would have a negative impact on public services, such as the NHS. The UK govt needs to #ReviewAMAP to avoid this.
