National Doodle Day: celebrity art for sale

National Doodle Day: celebrity art for sale

Imagine owning a piece of celebrity art; art that is donated to an auction, where the money goes towards a good cause.

With over 1,000 personalities in total contributing, the National Doodle Day initiative began ten years ago to raise money to support the work of Epilepsy Action. Epilepsy Action helps improve the lives of people living with epilepsy by providing practical support and information in a number of ways – over 1.1 million people benefited from their services last year.

This great initiative invites any budding artists to get involved – “do a doodle, donate a pound” – for the chance to be entered into a prize draw for the best sketches. By simply doodling, thousands of celebrities, schools, companies and individuals have joined together and raised over £250,000 for charity.

Celebrities such as Holly Fulton, Vogue cover girl Sophie Dahl, Sir Terry Wogan, Olympian medallist Lewis Smith are among the selected few that have participated in aiding this wonderful charity.
