Street Collections within the Metropolitan Police District
A permit is required by anyone collecting money or selling articles for charitable purposes in a public place and it is an offence to hold a collection without one. Permits are issued in London by the Commissioner of Police. The rules governing their issue and the conduct of collections are contained in regulations made by the Secretary of State.
The regulations should be read carefully and must be fully complied with by anyone promoting or taking part in a street collection. Failure to comply with the Regulations is an offence, which may result in prosecution.
