**The Nicest Job in Britain saw more than 100 charity applications in 72 hours earlier
this month, with entry remaining open until 30^(th) March.**

In response, scheme sponsor [Givergy](https://givergy-events.co.uk) has announced
that, once entries close, it will select one charity from the scheme’s applicants
to receive a free online auction. The lot will be hosted on [Givergy.com](http://Givergy.com)
as an online consumer auction to raise funds for the winning charity.

Any UK registered charities can apply or be nominated for a 2016/17 visit from the
scheme, which will help 40 charities with their digital and media communications,
and with generating positive media exposure through a visit from its national philanthropy
manager. Last year saw national philanthropy manager Luke Cameron [help 45 charities](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/03/03/nicest-job-in-britain-seeks-40-charities-to-help/)
across the UK.
