40th Anniversary Charity Auction

We’d like to say a massive thank you to the event sponsors and corporate donors who have given so generously to make our charity auction an exciting and successful event!

Event sponsors Humber Autos have donated generously towards our costs. Other companies, talented individuals and generous donors have given us items to auction, or provided vouchers or funds to enable us to buy goods.

We are so grateful for every donation, which will help us continue to transform the lives of marginalised girls worldwide. Every penny raised on the night will go towards our 40th Anniversary Appeal.

The auction will be held at our Anniversary Spring Ball, on Saturday 20th May. Most of the following prizes are exclusive to people attending our Spring Ball and Auction. However, the items from Manchester United FC, Coventry City FC and Motofest are also available to sealed bids in advance. Just email auction@globalcare.org with the item you’re bidding on, your name and phone number and the maximum you’re willing to donate. The top three bids will be entered into the auction by proxy and you’ll get a phone call on the night if you’re the winner.
