Andover Sound's first ever Christmas Auction raised £2,096!
We lined up some fantastic lots for you to bid on, many of them were 'money can't buy' items and all were ideal for Christmas presents.
Our auction raised money for Testway Transform's Money Box Fund. Testway Transform is the community fundraising arm of Testway Housing. It raises money which it then distributes to a wide range of local causes.
The charity's has raised over £77,500 in just 2 years which it has given out to 77 organisations like Andover Age Concern, the Andover Food Bank and Andover Rugby Club.
