CARELINE FUNDRAISER

**PLEASE NOTE: OPEN TO UK RESIDENTS ONLY**

As you know it has been a difficult time for small independent charities like ours this past year. Therefore, we thought we would do a little Facebook Fundraiser but with gifts for donations.

All you have to do is send a donation (big or small, it all counts) to our Virgin Money Account and your name will be selected from a hat (or bowl). If you are selected for one of the gifts you will be notified by us. Simple, right?

Please donate here: https://bit.ly/3nI27ZS Also, remember to add an email address or contact number so we can reach you.

HERE ARE THE LIST OF GIFTS

A lovely gift basket to brighten anyone’s day (up to the value of £40) Image is just an example of the type of gift basket you will win.

*3rd Gift – Flower Bouquet* (Donated by Annette, one of our volunteers)
Choose your desired flowers from www.bunches.co.uk between £20-£25 and call Careline on 01335 210353 so we can place the order for you. For us to do this we will need your telephone number and postal address.

 

*4th Gift – Elderflower and Vetivert Reed Diffuser* (Donated from On A Wick and A Prayer)
Light Elderflower balanced with dark and sultry Vetivert. 100ml bottle comes packaged with 6 reed sticks. (Donated from On A Wick and A Prayer)

We took part in #GivingTuesday this week and what a great day it was.

Giving Tuesday is a global campaign that raises awareness and hopefully funds for charities taking part all over the world. We had great fun doing it last year, so we decided to take part again this year.

We posted throughout the day on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and had lots of likes, comments and shares – which is great to raise awareness for Careline to let people know what we do and how important our service is for people.

Our amazing community also donated to our #GivingTuesday appeal and we have raised £255 so far, which will help us continue to reach the most vulnerable and lonely people in society, especially over the Christmas period.

If you haven’t donated yet you can do so here.  Every pound we raise makes a huge difference to those we support. It doesn’t matter how big or small, every pound matters.

❤️ Thank you for all your support – we appreciate it so much ❤️
