Amy Wright is running an online auction to raise £13,000 for BBC Children in Need.

Amy Wright, a Romsey fundraiser, has organised an online auction to raise £13,000 for BBC Children in Need. The auction opens at 9am on Tuesday and runs until 9pm on Children in Need Day, Friday 13 November.

Wright has cerebral palsy and learning difficulties and has raised £200,000 for Children in Need over the past 36 years. She said she was excited about the auction format: 'I've never done anything like this before, so it's going to be really exciting to see how it goes.' She added that fundraising was hard work but she loved it because 'I know the money helps children who really need it – just like it did for me'.

The auction features prizes and experiences donated by local businesses and individuals. Items include signed book plates for Lady Carnarvon's book Egypt at Highclere – The Discovery of Tutankhamun, a day with the Police Dog Unit Training Department, a private yacht experience in the Solent with Big Bear, and a bottle of whisky signed by the Speaker of the House of Commons, donated by Caroline Nokes MP.
