Marc Allum’s wonderful talk on BBC’s award winning Antiques Road Show, behind the scenes and the show’s most amazing finds was kindly sponsored by Sovereign Gibraltar.
The evening started with Sophie Blake from Sovereign telling us about their charity Sovereign Foundation that rescues Asian children from working on the streets , this charity headed by Howard Bilton , the founder of Sovereign uses art to raise money to help save these children, the children when taken into care are given art classes, art being one of the best therapies for traumatised children.
Howard Bilton also owns a vineyard in Portugal run by David Baverstock, their profits go towards the charity , so David came to tell us how the wine is made and brought some along to taste, it was delicious. David has 40 years experience growing grapes for wine and has twice won winegrower of the year award.
