An exciting evening took place on the 15th April at the Solent Hotel when staff from Southampton Institute carried out a Charity Auction at a staff conference on behalf of Lisa’s Charity. Some 24 lots were auctioned off by a professional auctioneer, items included Matt Le Tissier memorabilia, an Indian head massage, an overnight stay at the Solent Hotel and even a ‘slave for the day’. The evening was a resounding success and with gift aid should nett approximately £1000. Many thanks to all concerned, particularly Ben Craig for coming up with the idea.
