Luna Investment Management, Christie supporters

Luna Investment Management is a specialist investment management firm based in Manchester. The team at Luna Investment Management were keen to support The Christie charity, as it is a local charity that is close to their hearts.

The team specifically wanted to help raise funds for The Christie’s art room, which is due go through major refurbishment. Luna Investment Management, who were established in 2020, saw their first anniversary as the perfect opportunity to combine a celebration with raising funds for this important cause. 

The art room at The Christie allows patients to learn a new skill and provides a vital community for patients and their families to share their experiences and challenges during treatment. The service is now so popular that it can no longer meet increasing patient demand. This is which is why the upcoming extensive refurbishment is so important. 

Luna Investment Management hosted an exclusive evening at the Van Gogh Alive Exhibition in Media City for their clients and Christie supporters to help raise vital funds to refurbish the art room. Guests enjoyed a private view of this amazing exhibition as well as a drinks and canapes reception. 

The Van Gogh Alive event featured a display of patient artwork inspired by Van Gogh. All the patient paintings were sold on the night during an auction hosted by BBC presenter Mark Radcliffe. The event raised a total of £42,250 towards the art room at The Christie. 

“Luna Investment Management was honoured to support The Christie Charity by partnering with them for the Van Gogh Alive event. As well as being a fabulous evening, to be able to help The Christie raise money for their new art room by auctioning patient artwork was wonderful.
“They provide such important services to their patients and to be able to help them benefit from the sense of community and support that the art room brings is very important. As a company we are committed to helping charities local to us and close to our hearts.”
