集合和现金处理

I’m going to hold a collection or place collection tins in shops/venues

如果您要在当地的商店/场所中藏有收藏品或将收藏罐放置在筹款监管机构守则法规中的规定。

If you have charitable collections on public or private sites you need to be sensitive to the people you meet and any permission that you need to do so. You also need to keep yourself, your collection money and your collectors safe.

Do I need a licence?

The law on collecting money or other property varies according to the type and location of the collection. In most cases for collections on公共土地(e.g. a high street or park) you’ll need a licence or permission to collect from the relevant local authority. In Northern Ireland this will be the Police Service of Northern Ireland. On private land, you’ll need permission from the person responsible for the site (e.g. a supermarket manager).

You must及时申请许可证在集合开始之前。

在苏格兰,除非相关当局不需要您持有许可证,否则您必须至少在收款(或当地当局决定的任何其他时期内)以书面形式申请许可证。

For street collections in Northern Ireland you must apply for a licence in writing before the first day of the month before the month in which the collection will take place. For example, if you’re holding a collection on 14 February you must apply by 31 December.

You must carry out all collections in line with the terms of the relevant permit or licence.

在私人网站上筹款(例如超市,购物中心,花园中心)

如果您在私人网站上筹款,则必须:

  • have permission from the property owner/manager to collect
  • 遵守商定的日期,时间和允许收集的区域
  • record all bookings, including the full name of the person you made the booking with, the dates that were agreed and the type of activity that was agreed
  • keep these records for at least 28 days.

我正在组织一个袋子包

该法规不会在收集和组织袋子包之间进行区分。将在私人财产上进行袋装包,因此您需要获得网站所有者的许可。

All the other regulations apply, including the age limits on collectors.

如果我有收集许可证,我该怎么办?

If you’re organising a collection you should:

  • 在您看来,确保与您一起收集的任何人都是一个“合适的”人来收集
  • ensure collectors are at least the minimum age allowed to fundraise in the relevant country (generally age 16)
  • 始终阅读收集许可证的条件,以检查您是否需要满足与官方材料或授权有关的任何其他法律要求(这包括确保正确标记任何收集存储桶或盒子的慈善机构注册号,并正确密封它们防止欺诈)。

We will provide you with an authority to fundraise certificate for each collector. Collectors should have copies of these certificates and display them where the public can see them.

一些当局将要求您向他们提交其他信息。您可能必须提供特定区域中所有收藏家的完整详细信息,包括其姓名,地址,电话号码,要涵盖的确切区域以及收集者有权收集的确切期限。

Age restrictions

尽管16岁以下的年轻人可以出现在收藏中,但法规很清楚实际收集和处理钱的最低年龄。

您不得允许16岁以下的任何人进行街头收藏,除非在伦敦,如果您有特别的许可,则可以使用14岁或以上的街头收藏家。

您不得向儿童承担16岁以下的总体责任,以处理金钱或计算收集资金的责任。

What are the rules about what I must do and not do when I am collecting?

筹款法规指出,您must:

  • meet any legal requirements relating to collecting boxes, certificates of authority and badges (we can help you with this)
  • 避免造成奥林匹克广播服务公司truction, congestion and nuisance to the public
  • 处理您正在工作或访问的位置。

筹款法规指出,您must not:

  • act in any way that might reasonably cause members of the public to be or become startled or anxious
  • 不诚实,操纵或故意试图使潜在的捐助者感到内gui
  • 以理性的人可能考虑的任何方式采取行动会损害慈善机构的声誉
  • 穿着包含慈善机构品牌的衣服时烟雾或喝酒
  • deliberately block the path of members of the public
  • approach members of the public who are seated (unless the seating is part of a charitable institution’s promotional stand), in queues (unless the queue is directly related to the fundraising activity) without it being authorised under an agreement with a private site
  • 有意地接触正在履行官方职责的人(例如,穿着统治官员)在值班或明确工作的人们时
  • 阻塞,干扰或不尊重当地企业的员工。

房屋收藏

beplay体育怎么下载与关节炎相对于关节炎不支持房屋收集房屋。这是为了保护我们的收藏家的安全,并避免围绕此类收藏的额外监管负担。有关此信息的更多信息,请致电0300 790 0405与社区筹款团队联系:localfundraising@versusarthritis.org

Static collections

Static collections involve the use of collecting boxes which stay in one place − either on the floor or on counters in places such as shops, pubs, hotels, hospitals and reception areas.

尽管这通常是提高社区中对关节炎的认识并在较长时间内连续筹集资金的一种好方法,但必须遵循一些规则。beplay体育怎么下载

If you intend to place a collection tin, you must get the permission of the site owner, or those with authority to give you permission, to hold a static collection on the site. The permission must be in writing. Our Community Fundraising team can help you by sending you a site agreement.

When you place a collecting tin, collect the tin or empty it of cash you must have a Versus Arthritis authority to fundraise certificate with you to show the site owner or those responsible for the site (i.e. a shop assistant).

如果您要其他人代表您收集或清空锡,则必须给他们一封信,权威证书或徽章,以确认他们有权代表您收集。

This letter, certificate or badge should contain:

  • 收藏家的名字
  • the contact details of the organiser
  • the fact that this is a collection for Versus Arthritis
  • 如果这与收藏家不同,则组织者的名称。

If you’re placing a static collecting tin you must make it clear to the site owner, or those holding a static collection on the premises, that they contact you (preferably in writing) if:

  • 盒子丢失或被盗
  • 他们想结束收藏。

如果您被告知收集锡已经丢失或被盗,则应通知社区筹款团队。

处理现金收集

通过遵循以下准则来处理钱时保持安全:

  • 不要将无抵押现金无人看管。
  • Count your money raised in a secure place not in the open.
  • Wherever possible, ensure all cash collected in counted and recorded by two unrelated people.
  • Ensure cash donations are collected in sealed containers/ collecting tins.
  • Open collecting tins yourself with another person unrelated to you.
  • Bank the money from collections as soon as possible by sending it to Versus Arthritis in the full amount without taking fees/expenses. You can bank money into your personal account and send a bank transfer or cheque to Versus Arthritis.

Fundraising risk assessment

筹款法规指出,您应该进行并记录任何筹款活动的风险评估,包括收藏,无论发生在哪里。

不是一个风险评估bout creating huge amounts of paperwork , but rather about identifying sensible measures to control the risks in your fundraising activity.

Risk assessments are a way of recording the potential for things to go wrong at an event and what you can do to stop that happening. They’re a useful part of your event planning, often working as an event checklist. Some venues or insurers may ask to see a risk assessment.

Handling personal data

As a charity we take the protection and processing of people’s data very seriously.查看我们的隐私政策。

As a fundraiser you’re likely dealing with personal data. Only collect data you need, do not share this data and only keep the data for as long as you need it.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Only collect data you need.
  • Store data safely by keeping hardcopies in a cupboard and password protecting electronic copies.
  • Destroy data you don’t need.
  • Remove data upon request or in case of data of deceased individuals.

Protecting personal data ensures people can trust fundraisers to use their data legally, fairly and responsibly.

Certain special category data such as information about religion, race or health might have stronger protections. We see no valid reason for fundraisers to hold any special category data and we would ask you not to do this.
