Exempt Promoters

Exempt Promoter list - updated 9 June 2010

Anyone organising collections over the whole or a substantial part of Scotland may apply to OSCR to be made an Exempt Promoter.  The benefit of being an Exempt Promoter is that it reduces the administrative burden on the organiser (“promoter”) of having to co-ordinate with many local authorities throughout Scotland when organising a public charitable collection.
 
An Exempt Promoter does not require local authority permission to hold a public charitable collection. He or she must, however, give relevant local authorities three months’ notice of their intention to do so, and abide by the other requirements in the regulations. It should be noted that exemption is not of an organisation, but of the organiser. At the present time, all the exempt promoters (listed below) are employees of specific charitable organisations using their exemption for collections by that organisation. 
 
For further information about public charitable collections and the Exempt Promoter Scheme read our Public Charitable Collections note.
