Art on a Postcard (AOAP) is delighted to announce a fundraising auction benefitting St Wilfrid’s Hospice, an organization dear to us, providing expert end-of-life care both at their facility and in patients' homes. This heartfelt initiative supports individuals and their families during the most critical times, ensuring comfort, dignity, and expert guidance.

Due to the overwhelming number of donations from artists keen to support this cause, we have made the decision to split the artwork between three auctions. In addition to our signature postcard auctions, we are introducing a special segment featuring larger pieces — an array of paintings and ceramics, generously contributed by renowned artists and dedicated supporters including Emma Mason. To be a part of this special event, please remember to register separately for each auction. 

We are honoured to showcase works by distinguished artists like Sir Grayson Perry, Vanessa Jackson, and Mali Morris, to name a few. This curated selection also celebrates local connections with pieces from artists Mick Rooney, Lothar Götz, and Harold Mockford, all with deep ties to the region.

Joining the remarkable roster are artists known internationally, nationally, and emerging talents such as Winston Branch, Pam Glew, and Millicent Straker. Many artworks reflect the unique character of Eastbourne and the surroundings, bringing the local spirit alive.

This event holds a personal significance for Gemma, as St Wilfrid’s Hospice lovingly cared for her father in his last days, offering immeasurable support to her family. Gemma recalls the hospice team’s daily visits as a source of great comfort and the ability they granted her father to maintain his dignity in a familiar environment.

Inspired by their personal journey and the hospice’s unwavering support, Gemma is eager to give back through AOAP, assisting others to receive the same level of compassionate care.

Join us in this noble cause; together, we can help many more families find peace, support, and exceptional care during life’s most challenging times. Let us carry forth the spirit of generosity, community, and the healing power of art.

War Child is driven by a single goal – ensuring a safe future for every child affected by war.   

Using 30 years of experience and proven methodologies, War Child aims to reach children as quickly as possible when conflict breaks out and stays long after the cameras have gone to support them through their recovery.  War Child works with local communities and governments to help protect and educate children, and support them to heal and learn, for a safer, brighter future. Because one child caught up in conflict is one child too many.   

War Child understands children’s needs, respects and stands up for their rights, and puts them at the centre of everything it does. War Child boldly campaigns on the root causes of conflict and helps to amplify children’s voices, so that it can advocate for change on the issues that matter to them.   

Together with its partners, War Child delivers vital work in 14 countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.   

Every day, its local teams are in communities and refugee camps creating safe spaces for children to play, learn, and access psychological support. War Child also specialises in responding rapidly to emergency crisis situations as they happen, offering immediate and critical aid impartially to keep children safe and help them through their trauma.   

War Child UK is a member of the War Child Alliance, a global foundation made up of five fundraising offices and 14 programme offices.  @warchilduk | www.warchild.org.uk
