Street Collections

A Street Collection is a "means of a collection of money or sales of articles in any street or public place"

Application Process

It is the Council's Policy that only 1 collection is allowed per year per area due to the number of charities / organisations wishing to hold collections. If you want to hold a collection in more than one area please apply for all dates on the same application.

If you have a particular date in mind please contact us in order to make sure the date is available..

Is there a public register available?

No. The legislation does not require a register to be kept.  However we do publish a list of approved collections:-
