£5k lunch with CM helps Christmas Appeal auction top £100k

Monday 05 December 2022


The annual Christmas auction that aims to bring food, fuel and toys to islanders in difficulty over the festive period has raised more than £100,000 - with lunch with the Chief Minister, F1 memorabilia and a round of golf with Masters winner and former Ryder Cup captain Ian Woosnam among the star lots.

In total, islanders donated more than 200 lots to the Christmas Appeal auction.

The 2022 fundraiser managed to beat 2021's total of £95,603.

Organised by Fiona Walker and Annette Blanchet, the auction was broadcast on Channel 103, with ITV's Jess Dunsdon, BBC Jersey's Charlie McArdle and 103's Jason King on hosting duty.

The auction is known for its enticing - and often rather quirky - lots.
