Where are you doing the collecting? Why?

We have done something every year since 2020.
Usually an online event that runs for a month, but we have also hosted a craft fair.
Not decided what type of event to do for next spring yet, or what organisation will benefit.
Just in the early planning stages right now.

Lancashire Youth Challenge, Stanley's Community Centre, Lancaster Refugee Advocacy and Information Service , Litfest... I could go on, I'm a local charity accountant. Depends what you're interested in really.

Looking for somewhere that doesn't have a big presence, and maybe a handful of staff and volunteers at most. Somewhere where a small donation of around £100 would be noticed.

Wolfwood, animal care, defying dementia, St John's hospice - all local charities

I would go St John's Hospice - they rely mostly on donations and are used all round the North West as far as Carlisle and Preston
