I volunteer at the local foodbank and mostly do deliveries to people who cannot collect their bags of food. I could claim expenses but I don't really need the money so I consider my petrol to be a donation to the charity. I never thought about the aspect of knowing what the true costs are. I probably still won't claim as the amount would be quite small and the paperwork time consuming both for me and whoever administered it.
When I was treasurer for a local charity I did lots of printing out of invoices that were often emailed to me by companies or by volunteers claiming expenses. It was so difficult to quantify but I generally bought 1 black ink cartridge each year so I wasn't out of pocket, but didn't claim for paper etc. I often printed onto the backs of junk mail to save costs but some things required use of new paper especially all the letters I wrote appealing for funds. Some volunteers submitted receipts as donations which could be gift aided. I'm currently in the process of shredding old accounts and am amazed at what some of the old invoices are printed on the back of!
