Wow!!! This is so helpful! Thank you! How can we promote this more amongst users?

Just spotted this in the news (even though it’s Scotland), but we really need to look at this in England too!!!! I don’t think our volunteer drivers are reimbursed enough given they are doing what ambulances used to do a lot of the time.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tfn.scot/news/calls-for-review-of-volunteer-mileage-reimbursement-rate">https://tfn.scot/news/calls-for-review-of-volunteer-mileage-reimbursement-rate</a>Perhaps people are starting to take note? <a data-hashtag class="hashtag" data-id="drivers" href="https://ctf.beam.gg/search?hashtag=drivers">#drivers</a> <a data-hashtag class="hashtag" data-id="fees" href="https://ctf.beam.gg/search?hashtag=fees">#fees</a>
