A big thank you to everyone who helped us raise £110,000.
Thanks to everyone for bidding in our Behind the Scenes auction. After two weeks of online bidding the auction reached a magnificent finale. The auction ended with a bidding frenzy, both online and at dinner at BAFTA where great fun was had by all.
Spellbound by the magic of Fay Presto and serenaded by the sounds of Incognito, guests at dinner caught the Pilotlight fever and bid higher and higher. With your help we exceeded all expectations and raised an amazing £110,000 for Pilotlight!
It is thanks to our generous online and live donors; the lot donors and to all those who put our wonderful auction together and most of all Emma Forbes and Graham Clempson that this auction really worked... and will help our work.
Next year we will be working with 90 charities, 10 more than planned, thanks to the auction. And we will be using some of the money to trial ways to work with our charities so they have all the tools to survive a very difficult year ahead.
And, after all the fun, we are already looking forward to holding the auction again next year…
