Giving

We are proud to support Blood Cancer UK, a wonderful organisation dedicated to beating blood cancer by funding research supporting those affected. Since 1960, they have invested over £500m in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives.

The Gallivant supports Blood Cancer UK through a number of initiatives:

• Most of the art on the walls of the hotel are by a brilliant local artist called Karl Terry, who has painted so much of the local area, including Camber Sands. All proceeds of any sale gets split, 50% to Blood Cancer UK, 50% to Karl. Please read his bio below for more information.
• We will be soon suggesting guests pay £1 for the filtered water we provide (either when you come to stay or when you eat with us). We will donate 100% of this to the charity.
• Charity events that we may from time to time decide to host.

If you have any bright ideas we can adopt to help raise money for this incredibly worthy cause please tell us.

Karl paints landscapes and cityscapes both in the local area and abroad. Whilst he has drawn and painted for most of his life, has had no formal training. He has however been fortunate to paint with many of the UK & USA ‘s finest living landscape painters. He is proud to be an associate member of The Royal Society of Marine Artists, The Wapping Group of Artists and the Rye Society of Artists. This camaraderie between painters continues to inspire and challenge him.

He currently lives on the Isle of Oxney in Kent and paints outside in all weathers. His work is an immediate response to what he sees and feels when immersed in the everchanging landscape. This process has opened his eyes to the beauty that can be found everywhere, even in the mundane.
