News from Naturewatch

Naturewatch Foundation is holding its second online celebrity memorabilia auction for World Animal Day. Bidding for the first batch of items ends on World Animal Day (4 October), but new items will be added on a regular basis until early December. Last year's auction raised over £4,000 which helped to rebuild the SPA-SOS cattery in the Ukraine and to equip a wildlife rescue vehicle in Lithuania. This year's proceeds will continue to fund our work in Eastern Europe.

As with last year, celebrities from all walks of life have been generous with their donations. We have signed CDs from Elton John, Phil Collins, Katie Melua and Simply Red; a beautiful coral and silver necklace from actress Rula Lenska; autographed books by best-selling authors such as Helen Fielding, Nick Hornby, Jilly Cooper and Martin Amis; costumes and scripts from tv shows; and numerous signed photographs, ranging from sports personalities such as Ellen Macarthur, Gary Lineker, Sally Gunnell and Jackie Stewart, to actors such as Ewan McGregor, Jenny Seagrove, Bill Nighy and Zoe Wanamaker.
