Cost

Rate Cost
Residential delegates (conference charge) £190.00 exc.VAT
Non-residential (conference charge) £225.00 exc.VAT
Residential delegates single accommodation (payable to the hotel) £185.00 exc.VAT
Residential delegates twin or double accommodation (payable to the hotel) £113.33 exc.VAT
Spouse/partner (non-delegate) sharing accommodation per night (dinner, bed and breakfast) payable to hotel £46.67 exc.VAT

About the prices

We have been advised that we must apply the Tour Operators Margin Scheme (TOMS) if we organise a conference that includes accommodation. The effect of TOMS is that organisers cannot claim the input VAT on the accommodation and other costs associated with the conference, nor can they issue a VAT invoice to delegates.

One doesn’t have to be at Rebecca’s VAT session to realise this results in an increase in net cost to delegates of 20% of the accommodation charges. Therefore, for 2014 and future years we have to change the way in which you pay for the conference. When you book you will only be charged for the conference element, the accommodation charges will now be paid at the end of the conference directly to the hotel.

On arrival a credit card pre-authorisation will be required. We will continue to book the rooms for delegates (and spouses, if required) at our preferential rate.

For 2014 the conference charges are:

  • Residential delegates per person £190+VAT
  • Non-residential delegates per person £225+VAT

Residential delegates will pay to the hotel the accommodation charges for the weekend which (including VAT) are:

  • Single accommodation £185.00+vat (£222 inc VAT)
  • Twin or double (per delegate) £113.33+vat (£136 inc VAT)
  • Spouse/partner (non-delegate) sharing accommodation £46.67 per night (£56 inc VAT) per night dinner, bed and breakfast

During the evening we will be supporting The People’s Kitchen which provides a safety-net and a vital lifeline of friendship, food and clothing for the most disadvantaged in our society, the homeless and the vulnerable.

Our vision is to play a unique role in the City’s efforts to meet the needs of homeless and vulnerable people.

We have been supporting those who need our help in Newcastle for three decades.

Established thanks to one woman’s determination, our organisation has grown enormously from its humble beginnings under the railway arches at Dean Street, but our philosophy remains the same. We continue to offer clothes, food, warm surroundings, and a warm welcome to anyone that needs our help.
