Your chance to have lunch with the FT

Season’s greetings. The Financial Times is staging an à la carte charity auction of lunches with editor Roula Khalaf and eight other leading FT journalists.

The auction is to raise funds for the FT’s Financial Literacy and Inclusion Campaign (FLIC) charity and its war on financial illiteracy.

With 94 per cent of Britons saying they recall learning little or nothing about money at school, the FT set up the charity last year to make financial education available to those who need it most in the UK and beyond.

So place your bid by 8pm on January 29. Better still, as some bidders have now done, you can secure the remaining lunch of your choice by donating £10,000 to FT FLIC (£15,000 for lunch with the editor). For the buy it now option, email neal.fuller@ftflic.com).

All proceeds will go directly to the charity because the classy restaurants involved (all in London, plus one in New York) are donating the meals for two. Check out the auction website or…
