Charity Auction

In lieu of the Disney Ball this year, we have put together a feast of amazing prizes for a festive virtual auction! So pour yourself a drink, make yourself comfortable & enjoy some online Christmas Shopping! There are presents of all kinds & value that are suitable for all ages! All you need to do is register on the system following the instructions below or watch the video below and then you are all set to start some bidding!

With regards to the funds that are raised, £1,000 will pay for a play nurse on the Oncology Ward of BCH for 10 days over the festive period. This will make every day so much easier for the children who are unlucky enough to be in hospital over Christmas. The rest of the funds raised will go towards the Carter the Brave Research Foundation where Dr Mussai is just about to start his first research project!

The auction will run for 48 hours from 6pm on Tuesday the 1^st December until 6pm Thursday the 3^rd December. It is an ‘Ebay Style’ open bid auction whereby the highest bid is always visible & the highest bid at the time of closing will be the winning one for that item. Payment will be dealt with following the end of the auction via bank transfers to the CTB account. There are reserves on some items so if your bid doesn’t reach the reserve price, the system will not accept your bid. Any questions about the prizes or the bids please do not hesitate to contact me on lucy@chattingproperties.co.uk – I will be available throughout! Any technical issues will be supported by the fantastic Market Dojo who have kindly provided & set up this charity auction online for us at no charge.

As always, I’d like to thank all of those that have donated prizes to the auction as without these we could not run such an event! Every year the generosity of friends and family totally overwhelms me! Thank you.

All that’s left is to say happy shopping & have a great time!

The ‘Contact Details’ questionnaire will be marked with a red ‘x’ until submitted. This red ‘x’ will change to a green tick once completed.

Qualification (Qual) bids are your opening bids. The person with the highest qualification bid will be in 1st position when the auction begins.
