Art and craft donations needed for Karuna Charity Market
Karuna is seeking art, craft and jewellery donations for our market. If you are creative please consider donating an item or two as the proceeds will support the wonderful free care that we provide. If you cannot drop off or post your item please call reception who will arrange for a volunteer to collect it in mid-July.
The Art Market is a great day out and this year is set to be bigger and better than ever so we hope to see you there!

Karuna exists to bring comfort and peace of mind to those who are dying while providing support to their families and loved ones. Karuna’s ethos is based on the values of the preciousness of life, respect for the individual, compassionate service, empowerment and universal responsibility. Death, illness and loss are a natural and inevitable part of life’s journey and many of us find these times very stressful and challenging. Our fear of dying, separation from our loved ones, the strain of caring, financial pressures, fear of an uncertain future, the prospect of loneliness and insecurity are just some of the concerns we all face.
Karuna staff and volunteers understand and empathise with these concerns. We come from diverse faiths and spiritual traditions but we are all personally committed to the universal qualities of compassion, loving kindness, equanimity and respect for the preciousness of life. Our absolute commitment to the holistic care and nurture of the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our clients and their families provides the distinctive hallmark that is Karuna Hospice Services.
