Welcome to the 8th UC Alumni UK Gala Silent Auction!

The University of California Trust is the charitable arm of the University of California in Europe. Our organisation is part of a community including nearly 300,000 students, 70 Nobel Prize winners, 42 Pulitzer Prize winners, and over 2.5 million alumni across the globe

We are proud to be a part of this community, and we aim to grow our numbers and secure a better future for the next generation of students by enabling more of them to participate in study and cultural exchange. It is through curiosity born from learning through varied lenses that the UC system will continue to invent, imagine and build a better world. 

Help us do our part to make a difference. All funds raised from the UC Alumni UK Gala, including from the silent auction, Heads & Tails, the prize raffles and the casino, will go directly back into individual UC scholarship funds to support the next generation of talent.

Why not bid on a once in lifetime experience or bespoke day out? From private dining experiences with the world’s most renowned chefs, sports experiences in the company of the finest professionals, to luxury spa breaks and holidays, we hope there is something for everyone!

Please Note: Lots 1–12 in the Silent Auction have been generously donated directly to this event, meaning the trust will receive 100% of the winning bids for those items. For all other lots, the trust receives 10% of the minimum bid price plus 100% of any amount above the minimum bid.

THE SILENT AUCTION WILL CLOSE AT 23:00 ON THE 10TH MAY 2025
