VW ACTION CHARITY AUCTION

Main Marquee/Main Stage - Sunday 1.30pm

We've had a fantastic response to the VW Action auction in previous years. Every year traders and individuals donate or make great items for the auction, and whilst it is quite gratifying to know that on the day, they made a good price, we must thank everyone who has had any involvement. It would be great if the auction at this year's VW Action event could see a record amount raised, with all proceds going to Air Ambulances UK

Air Ambulances UK is the national organisation championing and supporting the lifesaving work of the UK’s 21 air ambulance charities.

Our vision is that together we will ensure the best possible chance of survival and patient outcome for everyone in need of lifesaving pre-hospital care.

We continually strive towards this by providing vital national funding to air ambulance charities, increasing awareness of their lifesaving work, advocating on key issues and policies affecting the delivery of their services, helping to enable advancements in patient care, providing a collective voice and enabling the exchange of information and knowledge across the air ambulance sector.

We are achieving this in collaboration with our members, generous individual, corporate and grant donors as well as our strategic partnerships.

Together, we are making a real difference by enabling air ambulance charities to save even more lives and remain at the forefront of pre-hospital care, helping to reduce loss of life in people with life-threatening injuries or a medical emergency.

Massive thanks are due to the generous traders, private individuals and in fact everyone who has provided items to be auctioned or bid on them. We hope that this year is another memorable one.

Certainly the generosity of many of the VW Action traders cannot be faulted, as the quality of the items offered are always exceptional. Whilst there are always bargains to be had, we would also like to salute the generosity of many bidders each year who for some items pay 'over the odds' because it is for a good cause.

In previous years several companies and individuals customised toilet seats, toolboxes and all manner of items to be auctioned. For 2023 we are asking donors to create any unique item. We would like the donated item to reflect you and your interests, as well as to appeal to the VW Action buying public. Perhaps you can incorporate a 'Disco' theme?

If you are big into skateboarding, maybe a custom decorated or even custom built deck... if you are a musician, maybe a customised instrument - basic ukuleles are pretty cheap. If you have great artistic skills, maybe a piece of VW inspired art. Whatever floats your boat. Details here.
