The Collections for Charities Act 2001 applies to any person who solicits money for a charitable purpose from the public. This includes incorporated bodies, individuals, non incorporated bodies and religious organisations.
Soliciting for donations means any request for donation however communicated, and includes solicitation by telephone, email, door-to-door, and standing with a donations tin in public. It also includes the giving of pins, badges and stickers where this is in response to a donation rather than an actual sale of the item. Donations will usually be money but can be anything of value including land and goods.
