Collection stands

Where to have your collection stand

There are lots of places that you can collect funds for us such as your local high street, a local sporting event, train station, supermarket or shopping centre.

Supermarkets are a great place to hold a collection stand.

What type of collection

There are many different forms of charitable collections, and all have different rules associated with them. Some of the most common are:

• Street collections – If you are holding a collection in the street, you will need to obtain a licence, either from your local authority, or if in greater London, the Metropolitan Police
• Private collections – If your collection is still open to the public, but being held on private property such as within a shopping centre or rail station, you must obtain permission from the landowner or manager
• Static collection boxes – Boxes must be secure and tamper-proof. You do not need a licence to place these in a shop or business, just permission from the business owner
• House-to-house collections – Licences must be obtained from the relevant local authority or Metropolitan Police
