The Auction

The Brancaster Ball have been lucky enough to receive some fantastic donations for our charity auction, from a number of wonderful friends and supporters.

Thank you all so, so much!

Many of these were auctioned on the night of the Brancaster Ball, but some we have reserved for this special online auction - as we wanted to offer these opportunities to a wider audience than just our lovely guests on the evening.

We hope you spot something that takes your fancy, and please remember that all proceeds from these items will be donated to the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, whose vision is a world free of MND.
