Food & drink auction
We’re very excited to run our first-ever online food and drink auction with unmissable experiences and prizes up for grabs from well-known indie suppliers and eateries across Sheffield.
Our previous art auctions were huge successes in bringing the community and artists together whilst also supporting our cause. We’re thrilled to do something a bit different this time and what better than food and drink? Something we all love, especially here at Grow. Details of the prizes can be found below…
The auction will be open for bids from 27 October and end at 10pm on 3 November. (see button below)
This year, we’re celebrating our fifth birthday! It’s an exciting time for us, as we transition from focusing on establishing ourselves, to making big plans for our future. As well as continuing to support young people through our programmes, we want to increase the number we work with and expand the outcomes for trainees through the integration of horticulture and customer service qualifications. To support these goals, we need to raise funds.
