Each year our 100 Club raises around £1000 for Careline. We particularly like this fundraiser because it means that as well as raising money for the charity, we can  give something back to our supporters; so since it’s launch in 2014, our 100 Club has raised over £5000 for the charity, in addition to giving £1,680 in prize money to those taking part. Although it’s too late to join this year, entries for next year will open in July 2019!

As we wish you a happy Christmas and thank you all for your support this year, we also have some amazing news to tell you. A few days ago we received confirmation that the Big Lottery will be funding Careline for the next 2 years!! As many of you know, we have had to work especially hard this year to raise funds to keep our crucial service up and running, so this really is the best Christmas present that we could ever have hoped for.
So here’s to all of you and we wish you a happy & prosperous 2019!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Christmas Coffee Morning where  we raised an amazing £1604!! It was a lovely, festive morning with mince pies and carols; where old friendships were rekindled and new ones made. What better way to end the year?
