AN AUCTION is being held at Totton on Sunday to raise funds for new equipment that will help disabled children take part in sport.

Toys, games and cinema tickets will be among the items to be bid for at Totton Recreation Centre at 3pm. Proceeds will be used to equip the centre with a hoist to lift children out of wheelchairs when they are getting changed.

The device is being supplied by Liftech Systems Ltd, which has knocked £800 off the price, leaving the auction to raise £1,000.
