What a charitable bunch Sony Ericsson are! Over the past two weeks the mobile phone manufacturer has been running a charity auction over at Ebay with all of the proceeds going to the children’s charity Honeypot. Running from the 15th of October until the 2nd of November, lucky bidders have so far managed to get their hands on some great gear like an exclusive VIP screening of the new James Bond movie, sports memorabilia including a signed shirt from F1 racing Driver Lewis Hamilton and special edition albums such as a signed Usher CD. And best of all, splashing the cash is completely guilt free as you can be safe in the knowledge that you’re doing your bit for charity!

Based in The New Forest, The Honeypot Charity supports very vulnerable children and young carers aged 5-12 years, with respite holidays and a long term support programme. Honeypot gives these children a chance of having a childhood by providing opportunities to play in a safe and nurturing environment. The holidays include trips to the beach, swimming, riding bikes and toasting marshmallows over camp fires. These activities create wonderful memories and something exciting to look forward to throughout the year, knowing they will return each year until they are 12 years old.

Commenting on the partnership John Harber, Managing Director Sony Ericsson UK said: “The day we spent at Honeypot House is the first of a range of different fundraising activities that we will be encouraging our staff to take part in. We will also be looking to create auction opportunities around our music properties such as Ibiza Rocks and enter a team in Sony Ericsson Run to the Beat – London’s first half marathon set to music.”

Running until the 2nd of November and with some great items still up for grabs including a signed Gordon Ramsay book, a Justin Timberlake special edition Gold Disc and a signed 6 Nations Ireland Rugby shirt, be sure to check it out and do your bit to support the less fortunate.
