Many thanks to Foundation Derbyshire which has generously awarded £2,000 to Careline.
Thank you all very much!
We are so grateful for all of the support that we receive from our local community and want to say a big thankyou! So this page is dedicated to everyone who makes a donation to Careline – no matter how big or small, every penny really does help to keep our service running.
Careline’s first new monthly Coffee & Chatter morning, held at St Oswald’s Hospital in Ashbourne, was a great success! Many of our members and volunteers attended as well as people from the local community. Our next Coffee & Chatter morning will be Friday 9th March, 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!

We are still searching for that elusive large scale funding, but thanks to all our supporters we are able to continue running the service for the foreseeable future.
We wish you the very best for 2018

We had such fun at the ‘Antiques on the Street’ event and Artisan Market in Ashbourne on Sunday 10th September, where we held our first ever street collection. Thank you to all of those who volunteered, or donated or who just came to chat to us about Careline – we really appreciate your support in helping us to raise £134!

We are extremely honoured to have been presented with a Community Award, plus an incredible £2,000 by the Provincial Grand Lodge of Derbyshire Freemasons recently. It means a great deal to everyone at Careline to have our hard work recognised in this way. Thank you to Trustees Annette Eley and for attending the evening on behalf of the charity.
