In the run-up to World AIDS Day, Broughton-based charity Waverley Care has launched its Tartan Ribbon Online Auction.
It now seeks bids on everything from appearing as a character in a Christopher Brookmyre novel to a signed copy of the autobiographical story of Garbage, from sport and theatre tickets to ‘high-speed thrills’ (not cycling round Picardy Place at 5.15pm on a Friday). You can bid for jewellery, dinner for two, spa treatments, artworks, and even a ‘“money can’t buy” chance to meet Grant Stott’.
Opening offers range from £40 to £350, and can also be made live online.
All lots have been donated by individuals and companies, and all sums raised will go to helping people in Scotland affected by HIV or hepatitis C.
Bids will close on Saturday 1 December during a dinner at the Hub hosted by Susan Calman (Tel. 0131 556 9710 for tickets).
