THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND COMMONSENSE PRACTICE RELATING TO THE USE OF COLLECTING BOXES GENERALY

Legal Requirements for Public Collections#

Guidelines ("Model Regulations") for street collections contained in a schedule to the Charitable Collections (Transitional Provision) order 1974 have been adopted, with minor variations, by the Metropolitan and City districts of London, and all other District Councils. The House-to-House Collections Act, 1939, and the House-to- House Regulations, 1947, apply nationally, with some variations in Scotland. Copies of relevant laws and regulations should be available from the respective authorities above, and fundraisers are advised to be familiar with them.

Applications for permission to hold street and house-to-house* collections should be made to the local Town Hall; or in the Metropolitan district of London to the Metropolitan Police.

*National charities may apply to the Home Office for exemption
The guidelines require inter alia that for public collections all boxes shall be properly labelled, numbered and sealed.
All boxes shall display prominently the title of the charity or fund which it is to benefit, and bear a number held in a register by the promoters licensed to hold the collection.
No person may assist or take part in any collection unless in possession of a written authority signed on behalf of the chief promoter. Any person authorised as above shall produce such authority forthwith for inspection on being requested to do so by a police officer.

# following the 1993 Charities Act new Regulations may apply in due course

Commonsense dictates:

Boxes not used as above (e.g. those left in shops, pubs, hospitals, schools, clubs ect.) should still comply with (2) and (3) above. In addition, a contact telephone number (at least) should be shown of an office authorised to arrange the prompt emptying of the box. Boxes should be emptied regularly, at least every six months, and preferably in the presence of the boxholder. Authority and identification should be shown, and the boxholder given a receipt.
Boxes used in public places should be made of a suitable, durable material and be tamper-evident.
Boxes specifically designed for home use should not be used in public places
Security chains can be fitted to most collection boxes, models and devices and may be obtained from us.
Box seals should be checked and any sign of tampering should be reported to the authorised promoters of the collection. On no account should any attempt be made to re-use the seals.

IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR A FUND TO BE REGISTERED AS A CHARITY IN ORDER LEGALLY TO RAISE MONEY BY ANY OF THE ABOVE METHODS, AS LONG AS THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET.

Opening and sealing of Polybox Handboxes® And Polybox Conventional® Boxes

Polybox Handboxes® and Conventionals® are designed to be sealed only with Angal Patented Ringseals®. Angal Polybox Ringseals® are printed on lightweight, tamper-evident paper and coated with a special adhesive. This unique seal, incorporating Security Slits® for added protection, has been developed with charities over many years and is designed to comply with the law that requires boxes for public charitable collections to be properly labeled, numbered and sealed.
Polybox Ringseals® and all other Angal products are produced to a high standard, under strict quality control, and safeguard the interests of all fundraiser's by providing a universal guarantee of a consistent and effective seal to all Angal Collecting Boxes.For security reasons, Angal Boxes are not designed to be easy to open, but they are made of extremely tough material which is unlikely to be damaged by firm and positive action in following these instructions:

Slit Ringseal® all round edge of plug (as the broken line indicates)
Insert a suitable strong leaver ( a wide-bladed screwdriver for example) in the gap at the edge of plug: if a funnel plug, opposite to the small narrow mark seen within the top of the funnel.
Push down lever toward the upper body of the plug and lever plug upwards. Resistance will be encountered but the plug will pop out.
Never insert the lever into the funnel or slot.
After Removing the contents, press plug back into the hole.
Apply new Ringseal®, aligning message as appropriate. the identity sticker (supplied free as part of the Ringseal®) should always be used: filled in on the sheet & stuck on the side of the box.
Ensure the Ringseal® is firmly stuck by pressing down all round the edges. Then whilst pressing down immediately either side of the string hole using the index and middle fingers, hold the string in the other had (2-3 inches above the hole) and pull the string firmly towards the centre of the box. This will relieve the string around the hole and once again press firmly down around the hole. Repeat for the other hole.

If first Ringseal® is well rubbed down, subsequent Ringseals® can be stuck on top and removed en bloc only as necessary, Stubborn fragments can be left.
