Hot deals waiting for your bid on the Meeting Needs online charity auction!

Four nights in Vienna or Bali; two nights in Copenhagen, Monaco, Tuscany, Paris or Barcelona – these are just a few of the 90 auction lots you can bid for in the latest Meeting Needs online auction.

Closer to home you can get wonderful experiences at The Savoy Hotel, The Fairmont St Andrews in Scotland and even a VIP garden party for 50 people! Whatever you fancy, the Meeting Needs Auction has the answer and the auction is live today at https://awards.fem-bid.com.

The Meeting Needs online auction was the first and original online charity auction in the events industry. Now in its 20th year, the auction proceeds will fund worthy causes in the UK and worldwide via the Meeting Needs Foundation, a registered charity in the UK founded by members of the events industry. To see the work we do, please go to www.meetingneeds.org.uk

Meeting Needs awards life-changing grants to small charities with funds raised from within the meeting and events industry, and this auction is one of its biggest annual fundraisers of the year.
