We hosted a beetle drive with a fish and chip supper on Friday 26th October at St Oswald’s Church Hall and it was a lot of fun. The fish and chips from the Market Place, Ashbourne were delicious and complimented by some lovely wine, lots of raffle prizes were won too! Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket and to those who helped out on the night.
Careline will be holding a fun beetle drive with fish & chip supper on Friday 26th October at St Oswald’s Church Hall, Ashbourne, from 7pm. Tickets are £8 and available from the Careline office – please call 01335 210353 or email jo@carelinecalling.org.uk – hope you can make it! 🙂
On Saturday 29th September, our Chair, Gordon Hart, accepted a cheque from the Rotary Club of Ashbourne at the Last Night of the Proms for an amazing £1000! Thank you SO much!
The Careline team and volunteers completed the 8 mile sponsored walk at Carsington Water on Saturday. The weather was just perfect with blue skies and warm sunshine – not a cloud in the sky. We set off at 10:15am and crossed the finish line (or rather the visitor centre for a well deserved coffee and cake) at 1:15pm.
So far we have raised £370!!

We would like to say a huge thank you to the community for continuing to support us.
So many individuals, volunteers, local societies, organisations and businesses have stepped forward to help and we appreciate it so much.
We would particularly like to thank:
…to name but a few.
We would also like to thank our volunteers and all those who have given us their time, donations or help with our fundraising events. You have contributed enormously to ensuring that we are able to maintain our free telephone befriending service to the elderly and other vulnerable members of our society.
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.
Jane, Jo & Carolyn and Trustees

We recently spent a very special afternoon at St Oswald’s Hospital celebrating 70 years of the NHS and what fun we had! It’s such a privilege to work alongside it’s dedicated staff & to be part of the hospital community. Thank you to everyone who donated, helped or came along to the afternoon to join us. Special thanks to fabulous local singing trio The Foxgloves and to Ashbourne Mayor Sue Bull who visited the ward, so that the patients didn’t miss out on the special occasion. Also to Notty Hornblower from Hope House Costume Museum, Alstonfield who kindly provided the vintage unform display.
