Who needs a Licence?

A permit is required to undertake a ‘house to house’ collection, under the House to House Collections Act 1939. Charitable organisations who are planning to hold a collection of money (or articles for sale or use) by means of visits from house to house (including business premises) require a licence.

Where do I Apply?

You must submit your applications to Wyre Forest District Council at least 28 days before the proposed collection.

How long does a Licence last?

Whereas street collection permits are normally issued to cover a period of one or two days, a house to house collection permit can be granted for any period up to one year.

How much does it cost?

There is no charge for a House to House Collection Licence.

Right of Appeal

Unlike street collections, there is a statutory right of appeal against the refusal to grant a house to house collection permit. In this case, the right of appeal is to the Home Secretary.
