This section of The Christie's website is no longer being updated. It remains online as a historical record of the astonishing success of The Christie's Centenary Appeal which raised £25m in the four years from 1997 to 2001. Fundraising is just as necessary as ever of course, to provide Real Help for Real Hope for ourselves and for future generations. Click here to bring yourself up to date with what's happening.
