Brixham Charity Auction

Following on from last year successful pilot project, Brixham Future CIC  has now launched the `Brixham Auctions`  to raise funds for the local Voluntary Sector supporting projects and events in the year. A spokesman said:

All our projects and event have had a high degree of innovation such as our Brixham Lottery , our 14 Wall murals which adore the town, or our five major public educational and entertainment events for VE & D-Days , the late Queens Jubilee or recent Kings Coronation etc

We wanted to deliver a project that would help boost our wonderful local voluntary sector which is the beating heart of our community. Like everywhere else it would benefit from a boost in income to help deliver more outputs which already are amazing value for public money donated by local people.

The idea is that local people donate hand portable items or goods, but stipulate which local `not for profit`  organisation they wish the proceeds to go to. In this way we raise funds from redundant, unwanted items or  pre-loved goods that are desirable and of value. People may not have cash to donate to their favourite local cause, but sometimes have a few treasured possessions that can be turned into a donation.

Local groups can raise large sums with help of their supporters. People can bring items to the Auction to be held in the Brixham Yacht Club on Friday 22^nd May 12 noon -4pm and on Saturday 23^rd May 1030am -1pm  before the Auction begins at 2pm. The auction itself is a lot of fun and cash only is required or mobile phone bank transfers. All goods must be taken by the purchasers on the day and no items put up for auction left unsold are returned unless collected on the day by 4pm.
