Great start for the 2019 M&IT Awards Auction For Meeting Needs

The 2019 M&IT Awards Auction has got off to a good start but we know, with your help, we can do better.

Meeting Needs supports approximately 30 projects each year whether that is bringing cheer and laughter to children in some of Europe’s refugee camps or funding days out for 400 children in the UK who might not ordinarily get a break. The Auction is the single biggest fundraiser of the year and very much determines what we can and cannot support. We need your help to say yes more often.

There are some great Lots on offer, and many of them accessible for all, for individuals and corporates alike. Please bid generously and consider it a donation for which you get something back in return – how often does that happen!
