The Council will usually only allow one commercial clothing collection to take place per month where no National Exemption Order is held.
Where a charity carries out its own collections without third party involvement, these may be licensed at the same time as an NEO collection if there is space available in the diary.
We will not usually licence a commercial clothing collection at any time where nationally exempted charities are also carrying out a clothing collection. This is in accordance with our Charity Collections Policy 2023 - 2028
Each application is treated on its merits.
All fundraising activity should be properly risk assessed but the Council cannot sanction any risk assessments as being covid compliant. Any non-compliance with social distancing guidelines is enforceable by the HSE.
Some collections do not need a licence. Unlicensed collections and those pending approval are listed.
We have been advised that Clothing Collection Limited is no longer carrying out collections on behalf of ‘City and Sport.’
