The lovely lady behind Truly Scrumptious held an ‘Abba Night’ in March and raised an amazing £787 for Careline!!
We would like to say a huge thank you for choosing Careline as one of your two chosen charities. It means so much to us and will help us continue to call those who are lonely and isolated.
THANK YOU!! from Carolyn, Hannah and all at Careline ❤

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.
CONGRATULATIONS AND WELL DESERVED!!

As a thank you to our amazing volunteers for their continued support and dedication, we had our annual Volunteer Christmas Get-Together at Betty’s Vintage Tea Room in December. We had a lovely afternoon of tea/coffee and cake and good conversation.
Thank you to Julie, at Betty’s Vintage Tea Room for putting on such a lovely spread (and for my millionaires shortbread – it was delicious!) 
We held our Christmas Coffee Morning at St. Oswald’s Hospital Foyer on Friday 8th Dec and what a fantastic morning it was! We had around 6 members attend, which is an increase in numbers since before covid. The nurses also brought down several patients to listen to Christmas carols sung by the wonderful Chameleon Choir.
The Mayor of Ashbourne, Anthony Bates, also attended and helped announce the winners of our raffle. Thank you to John Leicester for being Santa for the morning and to all the volunteers who helped on the day – we couldn’t do it without you – as well as everyone who popped by to support Careline. We raised an amazing £916!
Thank you so much!

We will definitely be back next year!
