KMFM’s All Day Auction raises over £12,000 For Action for Children

The KM FM network dedicated a whole day to fundraising for the charity Action for Children on Friday, December 2, 2011 and raised £12,340.

Listeners across Kent were encouraged to take part in a live on-air auction between 6am and 6pm.

High value items donated to the cause included an incredible complete wedding package that included a dress courtesy of Christina K Bridalwear, wedding rings courtesy of Kilburn Jewellers, and wedding and reception venue courtesy of St Augustine's Priory.

The team also gave listeners the chance to have kmfm broadcasting a show live from their living room, workplace or school.  The broadcast is set to set for Spring 2012 at Roots Kitchens Bedrooms Bathrooms in Faversham.

Other items included a Peugeot V-Clic 50cc Scooter, an overnight stay for two in a deluxe suite in Eastwell Manor and a signed copy of Peter Andre's latest album & book.

Action for Children works with over 50,000 of the UK's most vulnerable children and young people in nearly 480 projects across the UK. 

Katie Frisby, Area Fundraiser for the South East said: "We are absolutely thrilled with the result and it will make a massive difference to our work and the lives of many vulnerable children and young people.

 "Also the amount of local awareness you have helped us generate is truly invaluable. It was fantastic to spend the day on Friday at kmfm and see how enthusiastic everyone was about the auction and Action for Children, we couldn't have asked for a more supportive company to work with."
