The Auction of Promises began to raise money for Burton Children’s Sports Committee (BCSC), other local groups and charities and, we estimate that since its introduction, close to £40,000 has been raised.

The show is a real community event and we guess that the majority of people in the village have assisted throughout the years through either sponsoring a promise, entering produce into the show, or simply bidding 20 quid for "a loaf of bread, 6 eggs, 1 st place tray bake and a marrow." Interesting combination but it works.
