Charities
Fellows carries out several auctions at fund raising events each year for various charities such as the NSPCC, Marie Curie, Alzheimer's Society and the Birmingham Children's Hospital.
In November 2007, a collection of 24 Christmas cards sent from Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales to a founder member of the Prince of Wales's Committee, were donated to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society. Four days before the sale the cards were withdrawn. The Alzheimer's Society had contacted Clarence House out of courtesy, but officials disapproved the auction as they regarded the cards as ‘personal and should not be in the public domain’.

Famous quotes containing the word charities:
“The wonderful purity of nature at this season is a most pleasing fact.... In the bare fields and tinkling woods, see what virtue survives. In the coldest and bleakest places, the warmest charities still maintain a foothold.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
