Charity collections

Unauthorised collections

All our licensed collectors in our town centres should have a street collections badge issued by the Council.  This will either be worn, or displayed on their sealed collecting tins or buckets.  They should also have a copy of the street collections permit issued to them which will correspond with the entry in the Charity Diary

If you're unsure whether a collection is authorised, please report it using the map below.
