Answer 1

There are strict laws on what you can and cannot do to collect for charity. Tin rattling at supermarkets is not allowed without permission and street collections and door to door collections require licences. Neither of these will be given to individuals but only to charitable organsiations.
You can organise private fundraising events however.
If you want to fundraise for Gt Ormond St I suggest you contct them as they may have ideas and materials for you to use - they will want you to project the charity in the way they want it to be seen.

Answer 2

Here in the Western countries, you cannot just collect money. So you must have licence to do that. Mostly organisation having this kind of license and they get first permission before doing or asking donation to the people. And their mission is to help people especially in poor countries like Africa and India, or in their project and also if there is disaster like earthquake ,typhoon etc.
If you have permission then you can ask for donation to the public. Like holding a box mark with donation and some pictures and just say donation for children. You can just stand on the shop or street where mostly people passed there.You must ask permission to in the shop if they allow you or not.
You can collect old things, then you can sell it in the flea market.
You can do also concert or dinner fund raising. Envite all the people you know.

My daughter has Diabetes and we do a lot of fund raising for the walks, if you have the money to do so up front go to Plushland.com they make beanies for any organazation. They are 2.50 each and the shipping is free. You charge 5.00 so you can get your money back then send the rest to the place you a raising money for. People love them and we can never seem to get enough, so we just reuse the money we get back to buy more.
You can also just get the word out on what you are wanting to do, you would be surprised at the help you would get to raise money for children and others in need.
