Public collections

If you are considering raising money for charity through a public collection you will need to consider obtaining a permit.

Public collections are a popular method of fundraising but they have to be carried out to defined legal requirements.

We issue permits for House to house collections - including business and commercial premises - and Street collections.

The Charities Act 2006 will change the way public collections are regulated with further information available via the Charity Commission website.

Application forms and guidance notes are available to assist you in applying for a public collection permit.

For further information contact our Licensing Team on 01934 634 906.
