Furniture Makers’ Company launches Christmas charity auction

The Furniture Makers’ Company has launched a month-long Online Christmas Charity Auction, with the hope of raising at least £10,000.

This online event will run until Friday 16 December, giving bidders the chance to acquire exceptional items ahead of Christmas while supporting their industry charity.

The auction will feature over 15 exclusive lots, showcasing the best in furniture, experiences, and unique collectibles. To participate, interested individuals can visit the auction website DONATE, which is powered by the National Funding Scheme, and place their bids on these items and experiences, which have all been generously donated. Proceeds from the auction will be dedicated to supporting the charity’s educational programme and welfare support.

Jonny Westbrooke, CEO at The Furniture Makers’ Company, said: “I would like to thank all the companies and individuals who generously donated lot items in support of this important fundraiser. All the money raised will help fund our charitable activities, our education and training programme and welfare grants for people working in the industry.”
