The Meeting Needs 20th Anniversary Auction is now live and you can bid to win dozen of luxury prizes donated by industry suppliers.
The online auction has become one of the industry's biggest annual fundraisers, with industry suppliers coming together to support Meeting Needs by donating incredible luxury prizes and exclusive experiences.
Prizes include overnight stays at luxury hotels like the Kempinski Hotel Cancun or the St. Regis in Dubai as well as city breaks in Oslo, Bergen and Malta for those looking a little closer to home. And of course there are incredible UK prizes donated by Chewton Glen, the Lygon Arms, Leonardo Hotels, Celtic Manor and more.
Each year, the funds raised by the auction help Meeting Needs provide direct and life-changing support to children and communities worldwide. Recent projects have included supporting Ella’s setting up their third London safe house, helping Clowns Without Borders bring joy to children displaced by the devastating earthquake in Turkey/Syria, and providing SEED with the equipment they need for their therapy centre for treating eating disorders.
Chris Parnham, chair of Meeting Needs, said: “Meeting Needs drives fundraising across the UK events industry to award grants to worthy causes championed by events professionals. I think it’s about us uniting as an events community to do good, which in today's world I find exciting and humbling. Thank you to everyone who has donated a prize and thank you in advance to all our generous bidders.”
