Why Is There A No Entry Icon When I Try To Click On Submit.?
The No Entry icon appears over the submit button when there is required information missing from the form, please check that you have filled in all the boxes, especially the GDPR acceptance.
Do You Collect From My Road.?
In January 2023, we will be covering all of the roads in these Hove postcodes – BN3 2, BN3 3, BN3 4, BN3 5 and BN3 6 areas. If your postcode starts with one of these five listed, then yes we do collect in your road.
What Happens To The Trees.?
They are taken to a local recycling facility where they are turned into 100% organic peat free compost. The compost is guaranteed to PAS 100 certification, meaning it is made from 100% recycled green waste. PAS 100, ‘Publicly Available Specification’ for Composted Materials, is a widely recognised standard within the organics recycling sector. It contributes to the concept of the circular economy & means that the material is no longer subject to waste regulatory controls & has achieved product status.
Why Do I Have To Donate Online.?
Since the pandemic when we were not able to go out knocking on doors, but with the support team from Dean Jackson Waste Management we were still able to collect the trees and continued to do this in January 2022 and 2023. Dean Jackson takes the trees for recycling. NB Please don’t choose to be anonymous, and be sure to include your address in the Kindlink details so we can match up payments.
What Is Gift Aid.?
As we are providing a service please do not tick Gift Aid
What If I Forgot To Donate.?
If you did not donate until we collected your tree, you can do this online via our new Kindlink page here – – but remember that you cannot use this donation page to book a collection. The booking process is now open, and if you have not already had a confirmation email from us, you have not booked with us, and your tree will not be collected. Also, please do not tick the box to be anonymous, or we cannot reconcile your payment with your address.
What Happens To My Donation.?
Fully 100% of any donation goes to the local charities and good causes that we support, including projects that directly benefit the local community and those that support the people most in need. For instance, we recently donated over £5,000 to Brighton Table Tennis Club (BTTC) and Sussex Homeless Support (SHS). BTTC currently run a food bank with the Real Junk Food project at their premises in Kemp Town, the Fitzherbert Centre, but also operate across the city in parks, squares, schools, sheltered housing schemes, a centre for homeless people, sports centres, a psychiatric hospital and two prisons. Sussex Homeless Support help us every year with our Wrap Up campaign, where we collect unwanted coats for the homeless and other vulnerable people.
Do You Need Any Help.?
We organise and run the Xmas Tree Recycling every year but could not do so without our wonderful supporters & volunteers. Thank you to everyone who has regularly supported Brighton and Hove Soiree Club with our fund-raising efforts throughout the year. Massive thanks in particular go to Dean Jackson Waste Management.
