Stop Hate UK, a national anti-hate crime reporting charity is raising vital funds to further its work through an online silent auction-led event on the 4th of February 2023. The event will launch in accordance with Rosa Parks Day, raising essential support and awareness of black history, art, and culture.

The auction is set to include some outstanding art pieces donated by Hobbycraft, ranging from graphite to oil on canvas. A selection of more auction prizes will be featured, including elite sports tickets, Michelin star dining experiences, sports memorabilia and so much more.

One of the donors of art, Lauren M. White, a self-taught contemporary artist, best known for his vibrant portraits of the most influential people in pop culture today. Previous clients include: Will.i.am, Melody Thornton, Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool FC), Chloe Ferry, Tommy Mallet, and Scott Thomas. The auction will also include Kanmi Olukanni’s graphite representation of Time For Change, which symbolises expression of true identity.

The art will be auctioned in conjunction with Rosa Parks Day in support of Stop Hate UK’s track record of standing up to hate, educating against it and supporting those affected 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Every successful bid will go towards supporting more people affected by hate crime across the UK, and your bid will make all the difference.
