Any organisation or person wishing to hold a Street Collection for a Charitable Purpose must be in possession of a permit at the time the collection takes place. Unless agreed otherwise by the Council, only one collection may take place on any one day in any one location. Although most organisations can only carry out a collection on a Saturday, collections may take place on other days of the week.
Sponsored walks do not need to be licensed but 'moving collections' such as carnival processions and events which involve collecting from the public along a route will require a permit.
After the collection has taken place you will also need to complete a Return Form showing how the money was distributed and give a list of the money gathered by each collecting tin. Return forms will be sent to you when your permit is issued, but if you need further forms they will be supplied on request or can be downloaded.
