A charity auction and dinner – for Dorset-based charity Child of Hope – raised just over £2,000 to help complete a school for slum children in the heart of the Namatala slum district in Uganda.
Guest auctioneer was sports journalist Darren Lewis of the Daily Mirror, Sky Sports and GMTV.
Lots included a pair of Gareth Bale’s football boots, a Tottenham Hotspur FC football shirt signed by Jermaine Defoe, a VIP day for four at Newbury Races and a Bournemouth beach hut for a week.
Details of the school’s progress can be found on website www.childofhopeuganda.org
