Bottom Up

What is Bottom Up and how does it work?

Bottom Up events are activities that you, the member, organise for yourself and at least 2 other CSSC members. This can be absolutely anything you like, so long as it is legal and complies with CSSC's Code of Conduct.

Maybe a group of you fancy going out for a meal together? Perhaps a theatre trip, a day out, a concert or maybe even a holiday? These are just a few ideas to get you thinking.

Moreover, with Christmas fast approaching, perhaps you and your CSSC friends are planning a festive outing that could qualify for a Bottom Up subsidy?


Is there a minimum cost?

Yes, the event must cost each person at least £10 (excluding alcohol, which Chilterns Area will not subsidise).

How much subsidy will each person get?

Depending on the cost per person, the maximum subsidy available will be:

Cost
(per member)
Subsidy available
(per member)
£10 - £15 Up to £5
£16 - £30 Up to £10
£31 - £50 Up to £15
£51 - £70 Up to £20
£71 and above Up to £25


Can I make a claim after the event?

NO - the claim must make it clear that you, as a CSSC member, are organising the event for other CSSC members within your party. Submitting a claim where members book their own tickets, pay for their own transport etc and simply attend the event together, will not be accepted.


How do I find out more?
