As it is for the RSPCA you could maybe take people's dogs for walks? It seems silly but it is perfectly acceptable. You could maybe do it with your local community. Make sure the customers handing you over their dogs would have trust in you and make sure you are being responsible with them. No one wants injured dogs and upset dog owners.
It seems like a great thing you are doing, good luck. :)
Be careful selling edible items, because you might need special licenses for this. I recommend instead of selling items you collect items. You could ask your volunteers to ask their network for old or leftover foreign currency, coins or notes. Sites like LeftoverCurrency.com exchange them, they accept coins as well. Charities get preferential exchange rates.
Why not sell on Ebay? It's allowed there and if it's only for limited use you don't need to register as business seller. You could advertise that you are selling on Ebay in the town by handing out flyers.
UK you would need a license to trade in the street from the local authority. The chances of getting such are more or less nil and if you were lucky enough to get one it would cost you probably more than you could make off a stall selling bits and bobs.
Also you would need the permission of the RSPCA to raise funds for them.
sponsered crap
Hi. I wanted a few ideas you could give me to help to raise money for the RSPCA. I wanted to have a sale in the town centre (outside the mall) where many people can see us. Would we need permission for this? We are going to sell cakes and anything at home that we do not need like clothes, toys, etc. I am very devoted to animals and i would love to help these wonderful charities. All ideas appreciated , thanks x
