We held our Christmas Coffee Morning at St. Oswald’s Hospital Foyer on Friday 13th Dec and what a lovely morning it was!

Members, volunteers, and residents from Ashbourne Lodge Care Home joined us. The wonderful Chameleon Choir and the delightful children of St. Oswald’s Primary School sang Christmas carols. Also, a big thank you to St Oswald’s Hospital Kitchen for making and donating the delicious mince pies!

The Mayor of Ashbourne, Cllr Sandra Spencer and her consort also attended and helped announce the winners of our raffle.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to all our volunteers who helped on the day – we couldn’t do it without you! We raised an amazing £830!

Thank you so much!

We had such a fun evening at Ashbourne’s Lantern Parade on Friday 6th Dec – we had our stall on Dig St. and held a bottle tombola and bran tub for the kiddies.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the stall. You helped raise £80 for Careline Calling!! We even had a little helper – thank you, Leo!

Hopefully, we will see you next year!

As a thank you to our amazing volunteers for their continued support and dedication, we had our annual Volunteer Christmas Get-Together at St Oswald’s Church Hall at the beginning of December.

We had a lovely afternoon with a buffet lunch and a few games of Christmas bingo and presented awards and certificates of appreciation to volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who attended. Your support and dedication don’t go unnoticed. We wouldn’t be the charity we are today without you.

Our annual Fundraising Walk will take place at Carsington Water on Sunday 29th September, starting at the Visitor Centre Car Park at 10am (registration 9:30am). We will be walking the 8-mile loop of the reservoir – there will be a shorter walk available if you prefer. Everyone is welcome, especially our four-legged friends.

Or why not organise your own walk/run/hike to complete either on your own or with family and friends!

On Wed 27th March, we were invited to the Mayor’s Recognition Awards. Three of our wonderful volunteers were nominated (Stephen Liverman, Diana Harrison and Anne Thorpe) and received a lovely certificate for their dedication to Careline, especially as they have been with us for 26 years!

Also nominated were our trustees for their hard work behind the scenes and the amazing support they have offered to staff and volunteers. Our lovely Chair, Wendy Potts, and Vice Chair, Tricia Barclay, collected the awards on behalf of all our trustees.

We would like to thank Mayor Anthony Bates for a wonderful evening.
