**Alexandra Rose, the charity that works with charities and community organisations
to help them to raise funds, has published a new Collection Advice booklet. Claiming
to be the first charity to carry out street collections, Alexandra Rose says that
the booklet draws on nearly 100 years of collecting experience.**

After obtaining your collecting permit or licence, the booklet offers a step by 
step guide on the best way to organise your collection – advising on street collections,
local authority badges, supermarket collections, station collections, London underground
collections and house to house. It also suggests how to generate more donations,
write a press release and many other aspects of successful fundraising.

Alexandra Rose helps over 300 charities across the UK with their fundraising. It
helps small charities by taking on every aspect of setting up a collection – from
the initial procurement of permits, the supplying of equipment such as badges and
buckets, the procedure of reporting results back to local councils – to expert and
advice and backup.
