Notes to editors:
• BuyOnceGiveTwice is the brainchild of Mia Woodford and Emma Leschallas, who spotted the potential of wasted lots after raising £500,000 at a single auction at the Cura Ball.
• BuyOnceGiveTwice uses the remaining 10% of the monies received from sales to cover the costs of running the site.
• There is no cost to the charity to auction or re-auction lots.
• The funds received by the charity from the auctions are unrestricted.
