The Rainy Day Trust has revealed some of the lots that will feature in its 12 Days of Christmas fundraising auction. The DRH Collection and Dexam are among those that have made donations.
The Rainy Day Trust 12 Days of Christmas Auction starts on Sunday
December 1. Each day a new lot will be added in a silent auction, “so you can do your Christmas shopping and support your industry charity all at the same time,” says the charity’s ceo Bryan Clover.
Lots will include a Santa Cookie Jar with cookies, a box of beer glasses with beers, gin glasses and gin, a gas barbecue, and a week away in a holiday home in Pembrokeshire.
Winning bidders will be notified the next day if the reserve is reached, and if not, that auction lot will carry forward until won. All of the lots will be posted each day on the Rainy Day Trust Twitter and Facebook feeds.
“For the majority of people, Christmas is a time of fun and giving,” says Bryan, “but for many it is a different picture altogether. We can be there for them, giving direct help or advice and information on how to cope. But the Christmas support doesn’t come free so something like the auction will generate essential funds.”
Bidders need to be over 18. Send an email with the lot number and the amount of the bid to bryan@rainydaytrust.org.uk
