Karen's Arty Fundraiser for Samaritans Barnsley

My mum dreamt I set up a charity page where I offered to draw every day for a month for charity.

I thought – “why not make her dream come true?”.

I will be creating a pieces of art (drawing, sketching, colouring, painting, or whatever other medium I have available) every day in April. All proceed will go to Samaritans of Barnsley.

• For £5+ you can send a picture which I will try to recreate to the best of my abilities in A5.

• For £10+ you can send a picture which I will try to recreate to the best of my abilities in A4.

• For £20+ you can send a picture which I will try to recreate to the best of my abilities in A4, which you get to keep (if you want it).

Please use the contact button to request my email for picture requests or send it on FB messenger/WhatsApp if you already have those. Don't forget to include your donation amount in your picture message.

Thank you for your support!

About Samaritans

Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide.

Most people don’t just wake up suicidal which is why Samaritans is open to anyone going through a challenging time in their lives. Your call can be about things that are negatively affecting you whether it’s relationship problems, addiction, LGBTQ+ issues, physical and mental health issues, suicidal thoughts etc. Samaritans is a non-judgemental listening service who will not offer advice, they will help by giving you the space to talk about what is affecting you. Samaritans is not religiously affiliated.

By supporting a local branch, I know this will help towards basic branch maintenance (rent, bills, branch updates etc.) which allows the volunteers to do their work in a safe and comfortable environment.
