How To Give It with David Sims, Chantal Joffe and a tribute to Princess Diana

Andrew Marr, Chantal Joffe and Greg Wise auction works to support The National Brain Appeal

The National Brain Appeal’s annual art fundraiser is back, this year centred around the theme of movement – be it travelling to faraway places or moving through everyday life. All proceeds from the envelope-based artworks (£85) will support vital projects at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. Pieces by Andrew Marr, Chantal Joffe and actor Greg Wise are up for grabs. The catch? Each artist’s identity will be concealed until the end of the exhibition. 3 to 6 November, aletterinmind.org

LS Lowry’s Going to the Match raises funds for The Players Foundation

Before he made his name painting scenes of industrial England, British artist LS Lowry worked as a rent collector, only fully dedicating himself to art after retiring in 1952. Going to the Match, completed a year later, is the most famous of Lowry’s football paintings, most of them set under stormy Bolton skies. Now the work is being auctioned as part of Christie’s Modern British & Irish Art Evening Sale (estimate, £5mn to £8mn) with all proceeds benefiting The Players Foundation, a charity supporting footballers past and present with health and financial issues. 19 October, christies.com

Limited-edition mezcal to help replant the Amazon 

For every bottle of Annabel’s for the Amazon mezcal (£120) bought, 35 trees are planted.

Animal portraits in aid of Arctic conservation projects

Princess Diana-inspired specs raising funds for Orbis

Diana, Princess of Wales, loved a pair of statement sunglasses: Ray-Ban Wayfarers on the slopes and tortoiseshell aviators on her tour of Egypt in 1992. Her passion has sparked the imagination of British eyewear designer Tom Davies, who has designed three limited-edition styles inspired by the late princess for a silent charity auction. All proceeds will go to Orbis, a charity fighting avoidable blindness; the reserve price alone (£300) is enough to save 60 people’s eyesight. 18 October, tdtomdavies.com
