The Grand Auction, hosted by Bulgarian Partners Trust and Fair Investment Company in Bristol last week, has raised more than 5,000 pounds to help people living in poverty in Bulgaria.

BBC Points West presenter Dave Harvey (pictured with Fair Investment Company directors James and David), did a great job as auctioneer, inciting several tense bidding wars for all sorts of things, from a day’s gardening, to a gourmet meal cooked at the house of two chefs.

Thanks to everyone who donated items to be auctioned, and to those who came along and made the evening such a huge success!
