The youth charity saw a huge community response as artists gave their time, talent and treasure to the auction and produced over 100 works on scrap squares of MDF.

Dovecote Street Arts co-director Luke McTaggart said: “We’ve been thrilled at the response to this initiative, it’s been great to see the sheer variety and quality of the work people have very generously donated.
