Your chance to own a unique celebrity work of art

A charity auction offers collectors the opportunity to help Darfur children and obtain a unique collectible

How do you fancy owning a unique artwork by a celebrity name?

An impressive number of famous faces have offered their own handiwork to the Drawn… To Darfur project.

Organised by the UK's Kids for Kids charity, it is hoped the auction of more than 100 works will help improve the lives of children in the war-torn Sudanese region.

Submissions have been received from the Pope, Prince Charles, actress Joanna Lumley, singer Cliff Richard and British prime minister David Cameron.

It is fair to say that the artistic abilities of those involved in the project are varied.

"Buying a picture by your favourite person could not only be a good investment but means you will also transform the life of a child," says the charity's founder, Patricia Parker.

The auction takes place in London on September 15.
