Applications need to be made at least one month in advance. However, you may need to apply up to a year in advance for some major towns and cities. Regulations vary from authority to authority so make sure you read them carefully. Here are some examples: - All collection tins or buckets should be sealed and individually numbered. All collecting material should clearly display the charity name and registered charity number. All collectors must be aged 16 or over. All collectors should carry a copy of the permit and a letter of authorisation from the charity. Within a month of the collection you must return a form of statement, which should list the names of the people who undertook the collection, how much was raised and any expenses that were incurred. This should be signed by a qualified accountant. Collections on Private Property For collections on private property, permission must be obtained from the owner, landlord or licensee as appropriate.

There are three main types of raffles (lotteries), which are listed below. Lotteries and raffles governed by a set of rules determined by the Lotteries and Amusement Act 1976. A lottery is a game of chance in which tickets are sold, enabling the holder to qualify for a prize or money. Small Lotteries Can only be run without a permit if it is during a larger one-off event where the raffle is not the main focus of the event i.e. disco, football match etc No cash prizes are allowed. No more than 250 can be spent on prizes (donated prizes do no count). Tickets can only be sold during the event (you can use cloakroom tickets). The result of the raffle must be drawn at the event. Private Lotteries If held at your workplace or club theres no need to obtain a licence, however, you will need to ensure that raffle tickets are only sold on the premises. The lottery should not be promoted outside the premises of the organisation or workplace. The sale of tickets should be restricted to people who live or work in the same premises as the raffle. Society Lotteries If you hold a larger raffle that is open to members of the public, the raffle must be registered with the local authority. No person under the age of 16 years old can buy or sell raffle (lottery) tickets. Tickets must not be sold for more than 2. All returns for said lottery must be submitted to the local authority no later than the third month after the date of lottery.
