We purchased a deep sea fishing charter out of the Gold Coast. The service and experience was excellent.

Our family recently attended the Vivid Cruise on Sydney Harbour and on all accounts we couldn't have had a more pleasurable and relaxing experience. The 2 hr twilight cruise was limited to our group of 8 and we had the opportunity to see the sights of the harbour and we were provided with light refreshments. Very friendly crew. Enjoyed the night immensely.

Our family went on the Helping Hand Sydney Yacht cruise around Sydney harbour. It was an epic event with great skipper and assistant. Service and information was excellent and skipper positioned the boat under the bridge to get the fireworks. Highly recommend!

A huge thank you to Oliver, Jacqui and the team at Helping Hand Group for their fantastic support with our 400 Club Charity Challenge. Jacqueline was an absolute pleasure to work with. She put in a tremendous amount of effort setting up and managing our silent auction, was incredibly organised, responsive, and made the whole process easy from start to finish. Our event was a great success, raising almost $10,000 on the night, with the silent auction playing an important part in that result. If you’re running a fundraising event and looking for a team that genuinely cares and is committed to helping you maximise your fundraising, I highly recommend Helping Hand Group. Thanks again, Jacqui and Oli.

We have utilised Helping Hand's services on many occasions to help fundraise for our charity events. There is a huge selection of items, which I can cater for my expected demographic, items are delivered to the venue and picked up- so easy. Their staff are great and very attentive. It's an easy way to auction off items with no commitments, our guests love the memorabilia and its all round great option!

Christ Church Claremont worked with Helping Hand on our recent fundraising dinner. The Helping Hand team were efficient and personable and managed the entire process flawlessly. The Auctioneer was engaging. Ultimately what mattered was that we had a record fundraising event - and 70% of that was down the Helping Hand's Auction and Ballot Bidding. I recommend considering them.

The Helping Hand Group made our fundraising night a huge success. They had some amazing live and silent auction items. Their staff lead by Jacqueline were very helpful in the lead up to the event and also on the night itself. I would definitely recommend using them for your event.

We used Helping Hand Group for a recent event are were so impressed with the service, quality of items and the ongoing advice and support from the account manager. If you have an event requiring an auction, please give them a call! Thanks again NSW team.
