The Furniture Makers’ Company, the City of London livery company and charity for the furnishing industry, has launched a month-long online charity auction with the hope of raising at least £10,000.
The online event will run until Friday 8 December, giving bidders the chance to acquire exceptional items ahead of Christmas while supporting their industry charity.
The auction will feature more than 20 exclusive lots, showcasing the best in furniture, experiences, and unique collectibles. Among the highlights is a money-can’t-buy overnight stay for two at Mansion House, the residence of the Lord Mayor of London; and Six Nations rugby tickets to see Italy vs England in Rome, which includes a two-night hotel stay.
Sports enthusiasts can also bid on tickets to a Northampton Saints Rugby Union game, a four-ball opportunity at Northamptonshire County Golf Club, 18 holes of golf at Goodwood for four people, or guided dry fly and upstream nymph fishing on the Wiltshire Avon.
The online auction also offers experiences, such as an evening cookery course; tickets to Disney’s The Lion King; and royal circle tickets to The Great Christmas Feast at The Lost Estate; alongside furniture and beds from And So To Bed, Ercol, Hypnos, Ocee & Four Design, Sleepeezee, Stressless and ViSpring.
To participate, visit the auction website DONATE, which is powered by the National Funding Scheme, and place your bids on these items and experiences, which have all been generously donated. Proceeds from the auction will be dedicated to supporting the charity’s educational programme and welfare support.
