Street Collection Licence
Collecting money in the street, shop doorways or public places
for charity or fundraising purposes requires a Street Collection
Licence.
The licence is free of charge and is a legal requirement to
ensure collectors are properly authorised and that money is
collected in a secure way and the total proceeds collected are
properly accounted for.
Certain national charities are exempted from the need to
register for a Street Collection Licence however they are required
to notify the local authority in advance of the dates of
collections. Where such notification are received,
any alterations to the dates notified by the national charity
must be made by that organisation. It is not possible to
authorise individual collections without the authorisation of
specific charity.
