🌄 She’s going to the top of Africa… for Careline! 🌄

We are incredibly proud to share that our Chair of Trustees, Wendy Potts, will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro this year to raise funds for Careline.

In March, Wendy will begin her ascent of the highest mountain in Africa, standing at 5,895 metres, all to support our free telephone befriending service for people across the Derbyshire Dales and East Staffordshire.

It’s 6 days of trekking, high altitude, tough terrain and serious determination. And she’s doing it to help us continue providing regular, friendly calls to people who may otherwise have no one to talk to.

Wendy has been involved with Careline for (number of years) and has seen first-hand the difference a simple phone call can make. This challenge is her way of giving back in a truly unforgettable way.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help us:

• Provide weekly befriending calls
• Support people who are lonely or isolated
• Train and support our amazing volunteers
• Keep our service free at the point of use

If you’d like to support Wendy (and cheer her on from sea level!), you can donate here:

Wendy is aiming to raise £2,000 – let’s help her reach it!

Please do share this post to help us spread the word and support Wendy on this incredible challenge.

Thank you, Wendy – we’ll be behind you every step of the way. 💙
