Story
Karma Refuge Fundraiser for Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, Karma Group has been supporting scores of refugees from the war torn country, assisting with transfers from Eastern Europe to Karma Residence Normande - our resort in Normandy, France, which we’ve turned into a shelter for those in need.
Driven by Karma Group Founder and Chairman John Spence, Karma Refuge has developed beyond providing food and shelter. The initiative is now overseen by Victoria Williamson, Karma Group’s new Director of Philanthropy, who has been working tirelessly under John’s guidance to support our guests from Ukraine at every step of their journey toward establishing themselves in a new and unfamiliar environment until they are able to return home.
As the crisis in Ukraine drags on, we too must continue to support those affected in any way we can - and Karma is committed to doing so. Your donations will have a very immediate and direct effect on people’s lives - and over the coming weeks and months, we’ll continue to provide updates and testimonials from the individuals and families that we’re working with from Ukraine.
Anything you are able to donate is hugely appreciated.
Once again, a huge thanks for all of the support we’ve received so far!

2 years agoHead of Philanthropy, Victoria Williamson: “We have 13 families staying with us in Normandy at the moment – some with six or eight people together. This has been a particularly challenging and emotional time for everyone, due to the sad reality that the war is continuing and returning home does not look like it can happen anytime soon. The French government will provide social housing from the beginning of October, but these accommodations will only come with beds, a fridge, a washing machine and very little else." https://bit.ly/3faXPtF

2 years agoTo celebrate Ukraine’s 31st Independence Day we want to share some positive news... Along with her talented team, our Head of Global Philanthropy, Victoria Williamson has been working hard over at our Karma Refuge base, Karma Residence Normandy, and has managed to secure housing for 23 families who would like to continue to stay in France! All the apartments are within a 20 minute drive from Karma's Normandy property, so we can continue to make that our place for meetings and catch-ups; which is great news.

2 years agoKarma Refuge Summer Camp! With the school holidays now upon us, Karma Cares new Director, Victoria Williamson, had the bright idea of organising a summer camp for your younger guests. Victoria said, "I wanted the children to learn English whilst having fun and playing games and with the money raised through our Just Giving page, I was able to buy lots of games and supplies to help make the learning really fun. The first weekend was a great success with all the teenagers getting involved too, which was lovely to see! "
