In a statement this evening, FSR say: “We have been made aware that there are some kids going around the doors in Creggan collecting for Foyle Search and Rescue.
“We have not authorised any collections and collectors must have a permit.
“Please do not give any money. If this is a genuine fundraisinng event can the organiser please send contact us ASAP.”
Foyle Search and Rescue has been nominated by Mayor John Boyle as his charity for his year in office.
Last week he granted them permission to carry out a collection along the Quay during the Foyle Maritime Festival.
