As a way of raising additional money at our golf days and major events, we hold live auctions to engage our audiences, hosted over the years by famous auctioneers such as Charlie Ross (you may have heard of Bargain Hunt!)

We are always on the lookout for prizes, whether large or small, they are invaluable to us, and the money raised really does make a difference to those living with EB. Here are examples of prizes which have been offered in the past:

• Seven-night stay in a ski chalet in the French Alps for up to eight adults.

Major Supporter, Simon Davies, regularly supports us by offering his ski chalet to auction at events, and says:

This is an excellent opportunity to help DEBRA. Those who may have a second home, offering it for a week as an auction item is a relatively easy way of helping. We have provided our ski chalet for a number of years and it’s so simple to organise, and you as the homeowner can set the terms and availability. We have been supporters of DEBRA for many years and knowing that a simple act of kindness like this can make such a difference, really is rewarding.

• An outdoor Charlie Oven

• Paintings by BBC Wildlife artist of the year

Sarah Elder, BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year, says:

It’s fabulous supporting this incredible charity. The events and supporters really are fantastic. I have met some wonderful people and received such lovely comments and compliments about my paintings. Since my involvement with DEBRA, the team has been so supportive with amazing acknowledgements and ideas for continued involvement with their contacts, I feel very much part of the family and the DEBRA team! Long may it continue…

• Luxury holidays

Huw Davies, Managing Director of Corinium Travel says:

I am very proud to be sponsoring DEBRA. The work that the DEBRA team does in order to raise funds for people with EB is both inspiring and amazing. It is such a great cause which I am delighted to be involved with.
