Firstly, thank you for placing a bid at the auction and secondly, congratulations on being successful with your bid!

All money raised will go to the British Hen Welfare Trust's Christmas Appeal. They are raising funds for six new rehoming points to help more hens find loving homes.

The British Hen Welfare Trust is a national charity that re-homes commercial laying hens, educates the public about how they can make a difference to hen welfare, and encourages support for the British egg industry. Its ultimate aim is to see consumers and food manufacturers buy only UK produced free-range eggs, resulting in a strong British egg industry where all commercial laying hens enjoy a good quality life.
