House to House Collections

We issue permits enabling charities to collect goods or money from door to door.  We can NOT issue permits where there is commercial profit.

Please phone us if you want to check that a house to house collection is genuine.

Our aim is to ensure that charitable collections are lawful, and that monies raised are likely to reach the stated destination. The process can include checks into the suitability of the organiser, and verification of financial accounts.

Charities should note that there is no fee.

Some national charities are do not need to apply for a permit, but they still have to tell us when they intend to collect in our area.
