Get involved!

People, community, wellbeing, and sustainability are at the forefront of what is important to Boldon Auction Galleries. 

Our close relationship with staff, customers and the local community paves the way for us to want to do better. 

That's why we have embarked on the quest to add the Better Health At Work Award to the long list of  awards, qualifications and certificates currently residing under the Boldon Auction Galleries roof. 

But, we don't want to stop at our own staff - we have used our social media to communicate the fun campaigns we have been launching recently to our customers, friends and followers in the hopes that we can reach more people and do more for the wellbeing of the wider community. 

Our campaigns have ranged from mental health one a day challenges, to one a day fitness challenges and many more. We have launched Fruit bowl Fridays (loved so much that it will be a permanent resident and not just a campaign) and we supplied staff with new water bottles to support in a daily hydration challenge. 

Staff have enjoyed participating and have set new challenges for themselves, such as the Great North Run (Auctioneer Giles Hodges will be participating in the 2023 GNR), and along the way we have encouraged as many people as we can reach through our social media channels. 

Sounds fascinating, right? 

We still want to do more, and we still want to reach more people. So we are asking you to get involved, join in with our campaigns, share your experiences and results, and share our channels on your feeds to encourage others to participate. 

We can't wait to hear about your experience on this journey with us.

With best wishes,

Boldon Auction Galleries
