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 more information available via the
Charity
Commission website.
Application forms and guidance notes are available in this
section to help you to apply for a public collection
permit.

Licensing team or

standards page and download our Environmental and Consumer
Services service standards.
