Anyone organising collections over the whole or a substantial part of Scotland may apply to OSCR to be made an Exempt Promoter.
Exempt Promoter list - updated 31 October 2011
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.
