The Online Christmas Charity Auction, which ran from 6 November to 8 December, featured over 20 exclusive lots, showcasing the best in furniture, experiences, and unique collectibles.

The charity was aiming to raise £10,000 from the fundraiser, but thanks to the generosity of bidders, the final total was £11,050.
