Looking ahead, our focus is now firmly on our charity auction to raise funds for The Trussell Trust, supporting food banks in the UK, which will be held over the last weekend in November.
To help raise as much money for The Trussell Trust as possible, The Kindred Creativity Club would like to offer some enticing prizes. KCC Founder and author Clare Dugmore will be donating signed copies of her books, but she is also seeking prize donations from the creative community at large.
Prizes could include products (i.e books, handmade items), services (book edits/ proofreads, book covers) or anything else you feel is appropriate (gift cards etc.)
If you're able to donate to the Charity Auction, please fill out the form below. If you aren't able to donate, please consider either attending the auction and bidding on one of the fabulous prizes, or donating directly to The Trussell Trust via their website. (https://www.trussell.org.uk/)
Any comments, questions or concerns can be directed to claredugmore@gmail.com
The form for accepting donations will close on October 31st, and I will announce the list of prizes on offer in early November and promote the upcoming auction throughout the month.
DONATE TO THE CHARITY AUCTION SUPPORTING THE TRUSSELL TRUST
Warm wishes,
Clare 💜
