Art on a Postcard Auction for International Women’s Day
Art on a Postcard is a fundraising initiative for the Hepatitis C Trust, founded in 2014.

Dr Chila Kumari Burman, Claudette Johnson, Yui Kugimiya and Antonia Showering are among those who have created a postcard for the IWD auction. The bidding is open now from £50 up and closes on March 11th, proceeds are donated to the Hepatitis C Trust.
