Charity Auction in Aid of Ukraine – Over £1,300 Raised

Charity Auction for Ukraine a Great Success

On Friday 1^st April, TheStudios hosted a charity auction in aid of the Ukraine crisis. The event was held at TheStudios bar with residents and staff taking part in the auction. Up for the bidding were hotel stays, theatre tickets plus many more items kindly donated by local businesses.

Over £1,300 Raised for Ukraine in Charity Auction

The auction and buffet started at 8 PM, with Dave Gourley, Hospitality Manager hosting. Dave Gourley explains how the event came about:

“I was inspired by seeing the devasting scenes unfolding on the news and was also approached by Emily, a resident of TheStudios. We knew we wanted to help, so put our heads together and came up with the idea of a Charity Auction. We wanted all proceeds of the event to go direct to the frontline via the Salvation Army.”

Residents turned up in their numbers on the night and raised the following:

£552 from the charity auction

£108 from ticket sales

£15 from the raffle

And over another £700 from donations!

Over £1,300 was raised by generous residents and staff for this urgent cause! The auction was then followed by live music from local musician Josh.
