Let's talk about death — openly and honestly

At Karuna we know that talking about death and grief can feel overwhelming. Especially for young people, who may not have experienced a loss before.

But while talking about death may seem intimidating, it is a conversation worth having.

Our 2025 Tax Appeal highlights the different stories of two incredible young people who have a close connection with palliative care, grief, and Karuna. Read their stories by clicking the link below.

Your support is a vital part of ensuring our team can remain on the road, providing care and talking about death, grief, and loss to those who need it most.

Thank you for your caring, support and dedication. We were especially impressed with Dylan, who attended my husband on his final day 4 July 2024. He encouraged me to help bathe my husband, arranged an ambulance to take him to hospital where he died and hour later. Caring for my husband at home, with your help, is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done in my life. Thank you Dylan for celebrating Brian’s life with us in November 2024. Maggie
