On Monday, 21 December, Kent MS Therapy Centre raised £2,000 in vital funds at a virtual Christmas auction. Kent-based property developer, Quinn Estates, is among the supporters that donated items to the auction.
The virtual auction gave people the opportunity to bid on various items, including the case of 12 bottles of fine wine which Quinn Estates donated. The money raised will help Kent MS Therapy Centre support people with Multiple Sclerosis in Kent and Medway.
Moira Mitchell, Head of Fundraising at Kent MS Therapy Centre, commented: “The last few months have been very challenging for the Kent MS Therapy Centre due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Our income has fallen dramatically because limited services have been running at reduced capacity and we have had to cancel many of our bespoke community events. However, it’s not all doom and gloom as we have been overwhelmed by those that have supported us during these difficult times.
“This includes Quinn Estates who donated a case of fine wines for our Christmas auction and are responsible for a generous cash donation, which brought our final figure up to £2,000. The company is also sponsoring an element of our rescheduled charity Golf Day. We are delighted that Quinn Estates continues to back our small charity, which delivers services to people living with MS from across Kent and Medway. We wouldn’t be able to continue doing what we do without the generous donations given to us by Quinn Estates and for that we are incredibly grateful.”
Mark Quinn, CEO and Chairman of Quinn Estates, said: “We were honoured to once again donate to Kent MS Therapy Centre’s Christmas auction. The charity provides vital support to those living with Multiple Sclerosis and has continued to do sterling work despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. We’re delighted to see that the virtual auction was a success and raised much-needed funds for this worthy cause.”
