The Prize

Author Sophie Dahl will come to your house armed with milk and cookies, to read her first children’s book, Madame Badobedah, to your children.

Madame Badobedah is being published by Walker books in the autumn of 2019. It’s the story of Mabel, who lives in a seaside B&B with her mum and dad. When an enigmatic, growly voiced old lady arrives with a menagerie of pets and all her worldly goods, Mabel is on a mission: Who is this guest, just how long is she staying, and why oh why are her trunks full of gold?

Suitable for children 6 plus.

The Cause

The Fayre of St James's auction is in aid of the Felix Project, helping it to tackle the twin problems of food waste and food poverty.

Each year the UK food industry throws away the equivalent of 650m meals, which could have been eaten by people in need. 2 million people in the UK cannot afford to eat regularly and 70,000 London children go to school hungry each day.

The Felix Project collects surplus food from 200 supermarkets, wholesalers and manufacturers and delivers it to over 200 front line charities and 40 primary schools in London each week.

Quintessentially Foundation is the award winning and grant-giving arm of Quintessentially Group, providing funding and building awareness for UK registered charities.

Through mindful entrepreneurialism, our aim is to improve the welfare of disadvantaged communities and individuals, facilitating change and allowing dreams to become a reality. Established in 2008 - Quintessentially Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Quintessentially Group has raised over £13 million for charities through unique and innovative events.
