A Cort acoustic guitar, signed by Paul McCartney and actor Idris Elba, is on auction to raise funds for victims of domestic abuse.
Over the weekend (19 December), McCartney took part in a special interview conducted by Elba for BBC One. The pair autographed the Cort acoustic guitar at the end of the conversation.
The guitar will be on auction till New Years Day (7pm GMT); at press time, it holds a bid of £5,200. 100 per cent of proceeds will go to S.T.O.R.M, an organisation dedicated to supporting and sheltering victims of domestic abuse.
According to a statement from the British-based organisation, lockdowns for COVID-19 have resulted in a “significant increase” in domestic abuse. As a response, the raised funds will be deployed to “immediately aid those in need during this holiday season.”
Check out the auction, hosted by Dawsons auction house, here.
