Summary

This policy document forms the Council’s Charitable Collections Policy (“local policy”) that will apply to Street and House to House Collection activities in the Sevenoaks District area to ensure consistency in decision making. 

The aim of the policy is to give detailed guidance on the application of the law relating to charitable collections, provide a clear idea of the requirements that charitable organisations, promoters and collectors must meet before, during and after collections take place. It also sets out the administrative procedures involved in obtaining a permit/licence.
