Charity collection buckets

What capacity are they? Care from Contraband's start from £3.15 and they're 5 litres so cheaper but not necessarily the same size. Thanks

Fundraising supplies. We used them last year. Yes, lots of regs and a license is needed to collect in public (not so for events on private property I think). Thankfully our event was with Westminster Council and the Police so they sorted it all out

Hi, I know a place in Northern Ireland who make charity boxes (I used to work in the fundraising department) they are called Denroy Plastics there telephone number is 02891474822, they charge 69p plus VAT which works out around 81p. I think it still would work out cheaper for you including postage compared to some of the other prices you are quoted. They come in two halves and must be secured with labels, they are only available in two colours red and blue, we have used these for years and they are great. Hope this helps

That is very cheap, certainly worth ringing them up, I've never found them cheaper than around £3. Thanks for the info.

AFAIK the buckets have to be lidded and sealed, with appropriate labels bearing the charity name, charity number etc. But they don't have to be bought from charitysuppliesRus.com

Ask sandwich shops, cafes etc for the lidded plastic buckets bulk supplies of mayonnaise etc come in, cut slots in the lids. Seals can be printed off using sheets of labels on a laser printer (inkjet smudges in wet). Should all be legit but check with council.

has lots of useful information about collections, arranging cash counts etc, which will help reassure you, the charity, the council and donors that donations are being handled responsibly.

Note that street collection is not the same as house-to-house, and many councils allocate permits for collections up to a year or more in advance.
