We are looking to raise lots of money for our local youth band and need to buy some collecting boxes and buckets, can anyone tell me where the cheapest place is in England.
Previous answerers are well meaning but incorrect. By law, buckets and boxes used for charitable collections have to be closed, with only a slot for the cash - reason being that it would stop people helping themselves!

Surely everyone involved already has a bucket, if not go to a DIY or household store you can buy buckets for less than £1 these days

Just go to local restaurants and places like that and ask for empty mayonase buckets they are no longer using there's your collecting buckets that what we used when we were fundraising and it was free can't get cheaper than that!

My cousin got some from ebay, they might be a wee bit more expensive but it is worth it. I have two in a KFC and they fill up really quickly. We end up with about £20 in each one every couple of weeks.
I think we got 10, we just open them from the bottom, empty the cash and give the empty ones back to be filled again. We stuck a picture on them and a sticker with the name of the Charity too.
Hope your fundraising goes well x
