Some of the items auctioned off last year included a Chelsea flag signed by Mason Mount, a VIP Brewery Day at The Powder Monkey Brewery in Gosport with rugby legend and Steve Thompson, boat trips in the Solent.
Sam Tanner, charity manager at Wave 105 Cash for Kids said: ‘Our Charity Auction is one of our biggest fundraisers and money raised will help local children in 2023. We have helped over 100,000 children via our local grants this year so we can’t thank our supporters enough. Everyone has been so generous and it’s great how the community has pulled together to help those in need.’
Last year’s charity auction raised enough money to help 110,000 children across the south, and over 40 local good causes have benefited.
This year’s auction is hoping to raise a staggering £20,000 and the auction event will take place online, where bidding will is set to open a week before the main day.
