Peggy and Friends, the child amputee charity were our first charity partners, but we're delighted to have worked with a wide range of fantastic causes in the last 18 months. Providing a free platform to raise both profile and vital funds via designated auctions.

"William Hardy Trust"

Bid4sport are delighted to team up with England legend Alan Shearer and the players of Newcastle United to help a very special young man.

William Hardy is a soccer mad lad, who sadly lost three of his limbs to meningitis. Needing to raise money to purchase artificial limbs a special trust fund had been set up. This trust is supported by the Newcastle United players who had helped to raise as much money as possible for the William Hardy Trust. The first of these donations was an Alan Shearer's match worn shirt from the 2002/3 season game versus Liverpool in which he also scored. This was won by Bid4sport member Lynne Clarke and the great Alan Shearer himself presented her with the shirt on the pitch at St James before the Southampton match, in front of 52,193 supporters!

With the help of the Newcastle United players, official player sites and bid4sport members we've been able to raise well over £3,000 to date for William.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL

Keep Your Eye on the Ball is a campaign aimed at raising awareness of testicular cancer within football clubs and their supporters. Testicular cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer amongst young men aged between 18 and 35, and the recent cases of Alan Stubbs and Neil Harris brought the message home that football is not immune from the disease. However, thanks to research conducted by The Institute of Cancer Research and everyman, 96% of cases can now be successfully treated if diagnosed early enough.

Keep Your Eye on the Ball is backed by the FA and PFA, and Simon "Shakey" Shakeshaft is providing auction items to Bid4sport to help raise funds for our vital work. Simon suffered from testicular cancer and is actively campaigning to ensure men know the symptoms, check themselves regularly and aren't embarassed to seek medical advice. We are very grateful to Simon and Bid4sport for their support to our campaign.

Bid4sport were also delighted to assist Matthew Le Tissier in his fundraising efforts for the Geoff Smith Charity Fund with the record breaking auction of his signed shirt that raised an amazing £2,000. The photo below shows the presentation of the cheque.

"I was delighted to receive the £2000 cheque from Bid4sport which was donated to the Geoff Smith Charity Fund. The Geoff Smith Charity Fund is very dear to me because Geoff is my close friend - an ardent Saints fan who supplied the laughing juice for the players lounge at the Dell. He has MS and raises funds to help fellow MS sufferers. He also had the benefit of Geoff's services when drinks were needed for his parties and barbecues at home. Oh I could go on and tell you a lot more but you wouldn't believe half of it!!! Seriously though I would once again like to thank Bid4sport for their help, generosity and 1st class service. ."
Cheers
Matt Le Tissier - Southampton and England International

Feedback from our Members!

"I have been a regular customer of bid4sport for over a year and a half now, purchasing a range of items from signed mounts and golf balls to my most recent acquisition of a 1966 montage, complete with 12 signatures, match day programme and ticket. The selection of products on offer is second to none, but furthermore the customer care and service is the best I have experienced from any business. The products are always of the very highest standard and the time is taken to make me feel a very special customer. I recommend bid4sport to anyone looking for sporting memorabilia and I know that I will be a customer for a long time to come." Sir_Jon

"I have purchased many items from bid4sport,and I am more then pleased with the fabulous service I have received. the products have all been as stated, delivered promptly ,safely. A SPECIAL MENTION OF WENDY AND PAULINE BOTH VERY HELPFUL..I look forward to many more purchases,especially knowing the benefit to the many kids who you help . A real big thanks." john&pat x

"I choose to use Bid4sport for various reasons, the main one being I have spent good money on autographs just to find out they're fake. With yourselves you have the confidence to bid, knowing that you're getting the real deal. It's also nice knowing that you're helping people less fortunate than ourselves to do things we take for granted. This is backed up by a friendly & efficient service so all in all you just can't loose."
Owen Nichol

"All three members of the Bid4sport team are always most friendly and efficient in answering any questions or supplying any additional information about lots. Although most of my lots are picked up personally as I am local, those sent are always dispatched promptly and packaged very well. Of all the Sports Auction sites I have used Bid4sport is definitely the easiest to use and understand. Other plus points for me are that all auctions end at the same time 1000pm,all items are supplied with a COA and there is such a wide variety from a whole range of sports." Italian Jobbers

"A huge thankyou for a fantastic weekend at the Marriott, I wish we could have got together and me buy you a drink ( we could have reminisced about the famous Dons robbing the Pool of the Double in '88)... Hotel was V V V relaxing, Suite was V V V impressive... Anniversary was V V V special. Thanks again." Nick Blanchard

"I think Bid4sport is excellent and very good fun. The concept gives fans of all sports the opportunity to collect unique items of interest at reasonable cost. And, given time, some of the items may even prove to be worthy financial investments. I like the fast turnover of auction items so that the section is always fresh and the support from Pauline and Wendy is excellent. I also really like the signed Certificates of Authenticity. Keep it up!" Rio

"It was a pleasant surprise a number of months ago when I first fell upon bid4sport.com. A polite e-mail from Pauline told me, and many other blues, all about the site at the International Supporters Club (ISC) at Manchester City , (for all readers I LIVE IN QATAR!) Well loads of money spent later,across a wide range of sports, and I have a serious growing collection of memorabilia that my mates are getting quite jealous of. Not with standing this I have received tremendous assistance when I have had problems getting through, with Pauline calling me back and even one night being given a phone number to bid on if there was a problem with the internet. I have even managed to get stuff when I missed it in the bidding if they had more than one of them! I am sincerely grateful to bid4sport .com contacting me and I think it is a wonderful way to support charity and people not as fortunate as ourselves and have an enjoyable time in the process"
