This year we are holding an auction to support Christian Aid. If you've never been to an Auction of Promises before it's very similar to any other kind of auction, the only difference is that the Lots are promises of people's skills and time, rather than physical items. Lots can include anything from lawn mowing and ironing, to a session of yoga or a free consultation (finance, tax, beauty - the possibilities are endless!).
