House to house collections

Any person wishing to make an appeal to members of the public by means of a collection for charitable purposes, by way of house to house visits (including places of business, such as public houses) requires a licence issued by us.

Certain charities holding Home Office Exemption Orders do not need a licence but must notify us of the collection dates and the specific areas to be covered by the collection.

All collectors must wear a badge which is obtained from The Stationary Office.  The Stationary Office can be contacted by telephone on 0870 6005522 or their address is: TSO Ltd, Post Cash Department, PO Box 29, Norwich, NR3 1GM

Following the charitable collection the organiser must submit a return to us that details the amount collected and all expenses incurred.  This return must be submitted wihin 3 months of the end of the collection. There is no charge for the notification.

For further information please telephone 01246 242424 or submit an enquiry form
