Holding a donation drive is a great way to get others engaged in great causes - whether it’s collecting winter coats to donate to homeless people or toys for a children’s hospice - drives are engaging, effective and minimal effort to organise.
If you are requesting donations for emergency victims, we recommend that you only do so where it is the most appropriate response to their needs. You may wish to ask potential donors to sell unwanted items and donate the proceeds to the appeal.
Submit a fundraising request 10 days in advance. Please note that incoming 2026/27 community leaders will submit the fundraising request through the Activity Dashboard. Submit a high-risk risk assessment through the Activities Dashboard detailing how you will check the box regularly and ensure it is stored in a practical way. Donation drives are permitted to run for up to two weeks.
Book your venue with either KCLSU via [email protected] or KCL [email protected].
Once you receive approval, you must create a sign for the container outlining what you are collecting and for which organisation.
It is your responsibility to check the box at least once per week, and more regularly if it is becoming full.
