House to House Collections

If an organisation or individual wishes to make a house to house collection for charitable, benevolent or philanthropic purposes it is necessary to obtain a licence form the Council. Certain collections are exempt such as those organised on a national basis by large charities but otherwise a local permit is necessary. Normally such collections invite cash donations but collections involving the sale of tickets or collection of goods also have to be licensed. Promoting or undertaking a house to house collection without a licence is an offence.


If you are interested in promoting a house to house collection or would like further information please contact the Licensing Team There is no fee charged for this service.
