We talk to jumblebee about the City Giving Day auction!
We talk to Charles Fulton, Founder and Director of jumblebee about the upcoming City Giving Day Online Auction kicking off on 2nd September and why its worth a bid or two...
Tell us about the City Giving Day online auction?
The City Giving Day online auction supports the Lord Mayor’s Appeal and is available to all City Giving Day participants.
You can get involved by bidding or donating an item. If you do have any items you would like to donate, high or low value, please contact us. To encourage bidding please feel free to distribute the details to your colleagues!
Why is the auction a great way to support City Giving Day?
The auction is a fun and engaging way to support the charities. It has a number of “money can’t buy” experiences and is great to browse. If you do bid, even if you don’t win, you are helping increase the total funds raised.
What do you enjoy about working with The Lord Mayor’s Appeal and in particular, City Giving Day?
I have found that having a fundraising goal, whether a financial target or a specific date in the diary creates a community, a group of people with a common cause.
City Giving Day, organised by the Lord Mayor’s Appeal with its network of hundreds of businesses, actually creates one of the biggest fundraising communities in the country, where thousands of associates have a common fundraising objective for the day.
It is a huge opportunity to raise funds to support causes that create “A Better City for All”.
What would you say to companies thinking about taking part in the City Giving Day auction?
City Giving Day celebrates philanthropy – tell us about any work you do to support charities and giving back?
We founded jumblebee to help good causes raise funds and this year we will reach a total of £100m since we started in 2012.
We do not charge a fee for the City Giving Day auction and in addition some items have been donated by jumblebee.
If any company would like to set up its own online City Giving Day auction to support its own preferred charity we will also provide this FOC, please contact us!
