Dorset-based slum kids charity Child of Hope is holding a charity auction and fundraising dinner – with some amazing lots from premier football clubs and a great mix including other sporting memorabilia and tickets. Fancy a beach hut on a Bournemouth beach for a week?
The event will help raise thousands of pounds towards the completion of its school in the Namatala slum district of Mbale, Uganda – which will make a huge difference to the lives of hundreds of children who currently have very little hope for any kind of education and employment.
The event – near Ringwood, Hampshire, will be hosted by top sports journalist Darren Lewis. A football writer for the Daily Mirror for ten years, Darren is a regular on the Premier League, Champions League and International Beat… plus Sky Sports News as well as radio stations TalkSPORT and Five Live, and occasional appearances on GMTV and CCN. He is named among the 50 most influential black people in the game, along with England captain Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell and Chris Kamara.
