CHARITY AUCTION
Help us to raise money for the Prince’s Trust by bidding on one of the great prizes in our online charity auction – visit businesstraveller.com/auctions
Bidding is open for our 2014 online charity auction, with a wide range of fantastic prizes up for grabs. This year we are raising funds for the Prince’s Trust, a youth charity that supports 13- to 30-year-olds who are unemployed, and those struggling at school and at risk of exclusion.
The auction works like Ebay, except every penny raised goes to charity. As ever, we are grateful to all those companies that have generously donated this year’s items, and without which the auction would not be possible. Bidding closes at 12pm (GMT) on December 31. Log on now!
