We’re thrilled and ever so grateful to the staff of Sainsbury’s Ashbourne who have chosen Careline as their potential charity of the year. But we now need you all to vote for us please! Follow this link:

and when prompted type in ‘Ashbourne’, click on the store name and then select ‘Careline’. Or if you’re in the store, you can vote for us near the entrance. It’s very quick and easy but would make a huge difference to us, as we continue to seek longer term funding. Many thanks in advance!

It’s a sad day in the Careline office, as we say goodbye to our Assistant Manager Mary Beale who starts her well-earned retirement today.
Mary began her involvement with Careline as a volunteer before becoming the Assistant Manager of the charity in 2008. Since then she has worked tirelessly for the organisation, whether that be the day-to-day activities, fundraising events, strawberry teas, volunteer training and mentoring, support for members or single-handedly managing the move of the charity to its new base at St Oswald’s Hospital! Mary has played a pivotal role in the success of Careline and helped to shape the values which it embodies today.
We know you’ll join us in thanking her for all the hard work and dedication that she has shown to Careline over the last ten years and in wishing her a very happy retirement! She will be greatly missed but we hope that she’ll keep in touch with us all.
