UNUSUAL Christmas presents are due to be up for grabs at a charity auction this month.

St John Ambulance, Droitwich, has organised the Goods and Promises event in order to raise money for a new ambulance.

Among the 100 lots available are car cleaning and gardening IOUs, a VIP tour of Heart FM, and a signed Genesis T-shirt and album.

"We have had our old ambulance for about 13 years now and it does not comply with EU regulations," said divisional officer Richard Brown.

"The residents of Droitwich have already been extremely generous and donated around £45,000, so this is really the final push."

The auction takes place at the Copcut Elm pub on Worcester Road, on Sunday, November 23. Viewing of the lots starts at 6pm with auction itself starting at 7.30pm.

Phone bids will also be accepted by calling 07833 588623.
