Take part in a collection for Crisis this Christmas and help someone build a life beyond homelessness. Small change really does make a big difference!
Crisis will be hosting collections over the festive season, and we’d love you to join us as a volunteer. Joining a bucket collection is a great way to share your passion for our cause and meet other like-minded volunteers. You’ll also learn more about homelessness and how it can be ended. We’ll provide all the support and materials you need to make sure you feel comfortable and have an enjoyable day!
We have a number of London rail stations booked in December, and we are looking for volunteers to fundraise!
You can sign up for a morning or afternoon shift, and spend 3 hours (or as many as you can give) making a huge difference for Crisis.
Please email collections@crisis.org.uk to ask about availability.
Or you can hold your own. Setting up a collection is easy, and we’ll be here to support you. You could organise one in your local shopping centre or train station. If you are happy to organise your own collection, we can provide buckets and material that you will have to pick up from our London Skylight:
50 Commercial Street, London, E1 6LT

Fundraise for Crisis this Christmas and help someone build their life beyond homelessness.
You can only collect using closed tins, so please ensure yours are sealed with the sticker we provide.
Anyone collecting money in public must be over 16.
Collecting on private property
If the collection is to take place on private premises, (e.g. shopping centres, shopping centre car parks, train station forecourts) it is your responsibility to obtain written permission from the site holders or owners.
Collecting on public property
If it is a street or house to house collection or in a public place, you will be required to obtain permission from your local authority, or the Metropolitan Police if it is in London. House- to- house collections also include visits to pubs, offices and factories.
Most councils have details of how to apply for a license on their website. This process can take time, so it's important to plan ahead.

Whatever you decide to do, remember you can always reach out to us at fundraise@crisis.org.uk for support and advice!
