A new and unique online auction site www.buyoncegivetwice.co.uk is holding seminars
to introduce charities to their service. BuyOnceGiveTwice is urging charities to
maximise their fundraising from auctions. The site helps organisations by simply
recycling luxury auction lot ‘waste’ at no cost to the charity.

At the end of this month they are staging four further seminars on February 27th
at 11.15 and 2.30 at Decherts, 160 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4QQ and on
the 28th 11.15 and 2.30 at DDB, 12 Bishop’s Bridge Road, London W2 6AA. The seminars
are 40 minutes long, and guarantee to open a new revenue stream for charities.

Over 50 charities have been introduced to this unique and cost-free fundraising 
opportunity, 24 charities have signed up as founding charities including Breast 
Cancer Campaign, Action on Addiction, Get Connected, Starlight and Ovarian Cancer
action. A further 27 charities have registered.

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.
