Last chance to bid in on chance to train with an Olympic champion and more in second Homeless Helpline charity auction

The second of our online auctions raising money for the Young and Homeless Helpline appeal closes tonight.

Readers have until 9pm to bid for 26 stunning lots as part of our Christmas fundraising campaign.

The winning bids will help fund a helpline run by Centrepoint to give housing advice and support to young people living on the streets or on the cusp of homelessness, and vital services it will link them to.

Lots include the chance to train with an Olympic champion, luxury holidays in the UK and abroad, cooking lessons with top chefs, top sporting days out and tickets for Britain’s Got Talent.

Street artist Cartrain is donating a piece called 'Gilbert and George' (Alex Lentati)

You could get two hospitality tickets to watch Arsenal play at the Emirates on New Year’s Day, or a tour of the Mulberry factory with a handbag to take home.

Also on offer is an original artwork by a young man helped by Centrepoint tipped to be the next big UK street artist.

A late addition to the auction is the chance to ride through the tunnels of London Underground on the front of a brand new S stock train.

The prizes would make a unique Christmas present – while giving to a good cause at the same time.

The auction is powered by Givergy, which enables charities to raise cash by offering bidders the chance to win exclusive items and experiences.
