’Experiences money can’t buy’ for sale in aid of Beds charity

YOPEY, the charity which holds Young People of the Year campaigns in Bedfordshire each year, is holding an auction at The Ritz London on Monday (16 Feb). But anyone can bid for the ‘Experiences Money Can’t Buy’.

Among the amazing auction lots are for a teenager to carry the England flag into Wembley for the national team before tens of thousands of fans at an international match, and for a family to have a gymnastics masterclass with Olympian and Strictly champion Louis Smith.

The charity is hoping to raise money towards this year’s campaign and to raise the profile of the charity, which held its first YOPEY in Bedfordshire 10 years ago.

YOPEY founder Tony Gearing said: “These are once-in-a-lifetime experiences not to be missed.”
