Street and house collections in Purbeck
Street and house to house collection licences are issued by the Licensing Department. Collection of money or a sale of articles must be 'for the benefit of charitable, benevolent or philanthropic purposes'.
No two collections can take place on the same day, so it is as well to telephone in advance to ensure the date required is free. No fee is made for these collections.
