In February 2024, we launched a series of online auctions where donated items will be auctioned off on our official Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555957661758. The auction rules are listed at the bottom of the page. We reserve the right to modify the rules but any changes will be highlighted here and on the FB OFFICIAL AUCTION page and will NOT impact items already under auction.
We have a few items that have recently been donated and will be opening up new auctions in the coming few days.
These will be the final auctions as we hope to close all fundraising activities prior to 30th September so that we can formally handover the funds to the Alzheimer's Society
