Luxury health and fitness brand Third Space has generously donated a 12-month group membership to help raise funds for Newham-based charity the National All Star Skills Academy (NASSA).
Worth £3,400, the prize is now live on auction site A Noble Gift. It includes access to clubs across London and unlimited classes.
This includes its extensive facilities at Canary Wharf and Wood Wharf.
A Noble Gift allows charities to sell prizes by auction that are donated to them with the aim of maximising the funds raised.
All of the money generated from the winning bid goes directly to the charity.
NASSA is also, thanks to Arsenal FC, auctioning off a pair of signed Arsenal shirts – one signed by Declan Rice and the other by the whole team.
Bidding is also now live for these via A Noble Gift.
NASSA was founded by Natasha Hart MBE in 2005 to offer competitive basketball coaching to young people in east London – a safe haven to play sport away from the lure of anti-social behaviour, alcohol, drugs and crime.
Its Carry A Basketball Not A Blade campaign, founded by Natasha’s son, Anthony Okereafor, in response to the death of two of his friends in knife attacks, works in partnership with the Met to steer children and youths away from gang culture and carrying weapons.
Since its launch in 2008, it has reached more than 100,000 young people, an essential part of the battle against knife crime. It’s working.
The most recent figures from the Newham Safety Partnership showed that both injuries from blades and violence against young people had fallen locally.
NASSA relies on grants, donations and volunteers to fund and run its activities.
By bidding for this prize, you’ll be contributing to that vital work.
