Harrogate firm teams up with New Zealand rugby legend for charity

Thursday, 23 October 2025 09:28

Impulse Decisions Will Ferguson and rugby legend Dan Carter.

A Harrogate events company has teamed up with New Zealand rugby legend Dan Carter to help raise money for charity.

Impulse Decisions has proudly helped raise over £13 million for charities across the globe in the last 10 years, through its charity auctions, fundraising events and client support.

The team has now partnered with Dan Carter, the highest point scorer in test match rugby and widely regarded as one of the greatest fly-half players in the sport’s history.

The former All Blacks player signed exclusive memorabilia for upcoming fundraising events and charity auctions, delivered by the Yorkshire-based company through its free silent auction services.

Director of Fundraising, Will Ferguson, said:

“Last year we delivered more than five hundred silent auctions at a range of events across the UK and overseas, and we’re passionate about making every charity auction as impactful as possible.

“By partnering with athletes like Dan Carter, we’re able to bring exclusive memorabilia into both silent and live auctions, ensuring charities raise more while giving supporters something unforgettable."

He added:

“Dan signed a selection of shirts, boots and other bespoke items, each one becoming a unique piece of rugby history.

“For fans and collectors, these aren’t just items – they’re personal connections to a player who has inspired millions around the world.

“We’ve seen time and again how signed memorabilia transforms a fundraising event. A one-of-a-kind item from a global sporting icon sparks competitive bidding, adds energy to the room, and ultimately pushes totals higher.

“Guests love the chance to walk away with something truly unique, and the charities benefit from the generosity this creates.”
