Ensure sure all necessary legal information is included in your fundraising brochures, such as your registered charity status or number, full company name, and registered office address. In general, it’s crucial to carefully consider your fundraising requests and remarks, keeping in mind the impression you want to leave on potential donors.

A common way to raise money is by public collections on the street or at people’s doors, both of which need licences, which are frequently obtained through your local authority. You need to get permission from the owner or manager of the property if your collection is being kept there, such at a shopping mall. You do not need a licence to set collection boxes at stores or enterprises, but you will need the owner’s permission.

Outdoor fundraising events like fairs and festivals, sponsored walks and bike rides, and other outdoor events are very popular. It is crucial to take into account the potential effects of your event on neighbourhood inhabitants, local infrastructure, walkways, animals, and the surrounding landscape. Also, you ought to exercise the utmost caution in safeguarding the safety of your participants. Caution is the key. If you don’t follow the correct instructions, you can be held accountable.

Anyone who wants to raise money can do so, and they are not required to register with any organisation. You should be aware that there are guidelines that you must adhere to. Depending on the type of fundraising you’re undertaking, different collectors’ minimum ages apply; typically, street collectors and raffle ticket dealers must be 16 or older.
