Stalls are an important campaigning tool that can reach people that would otherwise not have any contact with animal rights advocates.

A stall can be set up wherever there is a large group of people in one place. Approach local events, such as community fairs, concerts and markets, to ask if you can set up a stall.

Some places require you to obtain permission either from the local council or from the owner of private property so it is important to check first. Setting up stalls without permission can be OK if you are not creating any disruption or obstructing anything but if the police ask you to move on it is wise to do so.

Collecting money at stalls requires a permit for street collecting so ensure you have suffiicient time to organise any required documents.

To create an effective stall you will require a portable table, an eye-catching banner, a range of leaflets and other resources for people to take, a sign-up sheet for people to add their email or other contact details so they can get further information sent to them, and most importantly two or more confident and enthusiastic people to staff the stall. Poster diplays are optional but can be useful for attracting attention.

ARA can provide you with free resources, sign-up sheets and has banners and poster displays for loan. We may also be able to provide an experienced stall staffer to keep you company if given enough notice.

If you know of an event that you would like to have an ARA stall at, please contact us to discuss your requirements and the details.
