WildFish’s 2026 fundraising auction raised a staggering £116,083, breaking all of its previous records. The wonderful variety and exceptional quality of auction lots on offer captured the attention of a tremendous number of bidders, as evidenced by this year’s total, which has broken all of its previous records.
Every day brings new challenges for wild fish. Every day the health of freshwater deteriorates further. The money raised in our auction supports the work of our dedicated team who campaign to reverse the decline of wild fish populations and protect the waters they live in.
The proceeds generated will fund vital research and ensure that our campaigns are led by the latest science and the law.
Nick Measham, CEO at WildFish, said: “After nearly two decades, our annual auction continues to offer a fantastic selection of unique and unforgettable lots. As an independent charity, we are so grateful for every bid that helps fund our team’s vital work to protect our fresh and coastal waters. From pollution to unsustainable abstraction, wild fish populations need our support more than ever.
The auction, which closed on Sunday 27th September at 8 p.m., was an incredible result for wild fish and their waters. Our warmest thanks to everyone who participated in making this – our most important fundraising event – the best one yet.
