This year, to raise money for Christian Aid, we are holding a Talent Auction! The auction will run from Friday 16th May until Friday 30th May, so get your bids in quick!
How does it work? Below are the goods and services available to bid on, ranging from jars of marmalade to a trip to the RHS Bridgewater! Please take a look through and use the form to place any bids, and make sure to leave your correct contact details.
What happens after the auction ends? All bids are secret, and the highest bidders will be contacted in the week after the auctions ends, where you will be will be informed if your bid won and given contact details of the person making the offer, and vice versa. For example, if you are bidding on Phil's offer of a delicious dinner, after the auction you will be put in contact with each other to schedule a time that works for you. You can then make your donation for the bid amount via our Christian Aid page.
