Collection buckets and tins We can send out Ovacome collection buckets or tins to help you fundraise. Opening our collection tins Please empty the tins before returning them to Ovacome. Peel off the ‘Thank You’ sticker at the top. Insert a suitable lever i.e. flat-blade, screwdriver etc., in the gap at the edge of ring plug. Push down lever towards the under body of the plug and lever plug upwards - resistance will be encountered but the plug will pop out. After removing the contents, press the ring plug back into hole. If you’re willing to keep the tin and use it again please email us at [email protected] or call Imo on 07767 619462 and we will be happy to send you a new tin seal. Returning the collection tin/bucket If you no longer wish to keep the tin/bucket, please return it to us so it can be used again and save Ovacome vital funds as they cost £4.50 for a tin and £9 for a bucket. Please return to 'Ovacome, 52- 54, Featherstone Street London EC1Y 8RT'. On public property For example a park, street or square you will need a licence. You can get these from your local council, but this can take a few weeks or even longer, so make sure you allow plenty of time before your collection date. You also need to inform your local police about the event. It is very important when you are fundraising that you do it in a safe and legal manner. Ovacome will send you a charity letter of authorisation to submit with your application. On private property For example a shop, pub or supermarket. Ask the owner’s permission in advance. Leave plenty of time in case the person you ask has to check with someone else. If you have any questions about collections email [email protected] or call Imo on 07767 619462. Paying in the funds You will need to pay the cash you collect into your own account and then send the funds to us (see 'paying in your funds' at the top of this page).
