There is a countdown clock on the item page showing how long is left until the item closes.

This fundraising auction contains a combination of donated lots and supplied lots. Non donated lots are supplied to this fundraiser at £25 - £150 under the starting bid price to ensure that every single bid is guaranteed to raise much needed funds for the beneficiary charities. That value, plus 100% of the winning bid above the supply price goes to the beneficiaries. Wholly donated lots will be specified.

When the system closes, you will be either sent a secure payment link or your credit card will automatically be charged if you have entered the details on the secure page only if you have won an item and/or made a donation. You will then be sent a text and email notification with a confirmation of your payment.

The lots inclusion are exhaustive and exclude flights, transfers and all other expenses unless expressly stated in the description.
