Street collections
A street collection is a means of collecting money from members of the public for the benefit of charitable or other similar purposes.
In order to be able to carry out a street collection in our District you will need to make an application to us for a permit.
Collections must be carried on in line with the Council's Regulations on Street Collections, which can be found here:

Due to the limits in place on the number of collections that will be permitted each year, it is worth making contact with us first to see if the date on which you wish to carry out your collection is available. You can do this by contacting us, here are our contact details.
