Co-Director Jim Donnelly said, “The funds raised will go directly back into creating opportunities for young people to engage with arts activities in the local community.”
The auction takes place on Saturday 27 April from 6pm to 8pm at The Dovecote Centre, Dovecote Street, Amble NE65 0DX however it is already live online here .
