First-harvest charity auction
Who should the money go to?
Five jars of our first honey are being auctioned, and every pound of the winning bids goes to charity. We would rather not pick the cause on our own.
Tell us about a small local charity where a few hundred pounds would make a visible difference. A sentence is plenty. It takes about thirty seconds.
What we are looking for
Small, local, and close to the ground.
There is no shortlist and no voting. We are collecting suggestions, reading all of them, and choosing one. These are the things that will weigh most heavily.
- Small enough that a few hundred pounds is genuinely useful rather than a rounding error.
- A real connection to community, growing, food, practical skills or the environment.
- Able to receive a donation directly and happy to be named publicly.
You do not have to be involved with a charity to nominate it, and you do not need to be bidding.
What happens next
How the decision gets made.
- Nominations stay open for as long as bidding runs. The auction page shows the countdown.
- We read every nomination and check that the leading candidates can accept a donation.
- We contact the chosen charity and confirm they are willing to be named.
- The beneficiary is announced on the auction page before any money is passed on.
- The final amount raised, and evidence that it reached the charity, is published afterwards on the spending page.
To be clear: this is a nomination, not a vote. The organiser makes the final choice and is responsible for it.
