On Saturday 29th September, Careline will be holding a sponsored walk around Carsington Water to raise funds for the charity. We would really appreciate if you would consider sponsoring the Careline Team (Jane, Jo & Carolyn plus Maisie the West Highland Terrier!). Donations can be made on the following link – it really doesn’t matter how much, as every penny really does count:

You can also send us a cheque if you would prefer, made payable to Careline:
Careline, St Oswald’s Hospital, Clifton Rd, Ashbourne, Derbyshire DE6 1DR
Or even better come along and join us. We will be meeting at Carsington Water’s Millfields Car Park (southern end of the reservoir nr Hognaston. Parking fee £2.50 for the day) from 9.30am and setting off at 10am. The length of the walk is around 8 miles, although a slightly shorter version is also available. There are a range of refreshments options available at the Visitors Centre, so you can stop and have a coffee on your way. Everyone is welcome to join us, especially 4-legged supporters – in fact the more the merrier and every penny will go to the charity.
You can register on the day or e-mail: jo@carelinecalling.org.uk who will send you a registration and sponsorship form. Or call Jo on 01335 210353 for more information.

We recently spent a very special afternoon at St Oswald’s Hospital celebrating 70 years of the NHS and what fun we had! It’s such a privilege to work alongside it’s dedicated staff & to be part of the hospital community. Thank you to everyone who donated, helped or came along to the afternoon to join us. Special thanks to fabulous local singing trio The Foxgloves and to Ashbourne Mayor Sue Bull who visited the ward, so that the patients didn’t miss out on the special occasion. Also to Notty Hornblower from Hope House Costume Museum, Alstonfield who kindly provided the vintage unform display.

On 16th May, Careline’s East Staffordshire members were invited to join the Uttoxeter Friendship Group for their annual Strawberry Tea. The Group have always been great supporters of Careline and this fantastic afternoon strengthened our friendship even more.
We all had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea and entertainment from the Sitwell Singers. Thank you to the Friendship Group for making us all feel so welcome!
We had a lovely time hosting Careline’s third monthly Coffee & Chatter morning at St Oswald’s Hospital in Ashbourne last Friday. Many of our members and volunteers attended as well as people from the local community. Along with our usual fair of homemade cakes and handmade items, we also had a lovely donation of cakes from Hatters Tea Parties (images below). We also held a raffle for a beautiful shaker style sewing box, lovingly handmade and kindly donated to us by Ryan Quince. If you didn’t get the chance to purchase raffle tickets this time round, don’t worry as we will be selling raffle tickets at each of our coffee mornings until the draw on October 12th.
Our next Coffee & Chatter morning will be Friday 11th May, 10am-12pm. So if you fancy a free cup of tea or coffee, and a slice of homemade cake, please add it to your diaries as we’d love to see you there!

Careline’s second monthly Coffee & Chatter morning, held at St Oswald’s Hospital in Ashbourne, was another great success!

We also held our 100 Club Spring Draw, raffled a lovely big Easter egg, kindly donated to us by Sue Brown at Tesco, Uttoxeter, and presented gifts to volunteers who have been with us for 10 years or more. So a fun and busy morning was had by all!
