A Charitable Collection is defined as follows: -
- "by means of an appeal to the public by way of visits from house to house (including pub to pub), to give money or property (House to House Collection)" or
- "by means of a collection of money or sales of articles in any street or public place (Street Collection)"
A permit is required from us before you can carry out either of the above collections. For further information including downloadable application forms, guidance notes and details of collections that have already been approved by us, please refer to the menu bar on the left.
