Wendy has been part of Careline for many years, including six as our Chair of Trustees, and this March she’s taking one of her toughest challenges to date: hiking Mount Kilimanjaro.

Standing at nearly 6,000 metres, Kilimanjaro is a demanding, high-altitude climb that requires months of training, determination and resilience. Wendy is taking on this challenge to support Careline to raise vital funds for the service she has helped guide and support.

Careline is a small, independent charity offering free telephone befriending calls to adults across the Derbyshire Dales, Erewash and East Staffordshire. Our volunteers bring comfort, connection and companionship to people who may be feeling lonely, isolated, or simply in need of someone to talk to.

This challenge is Wendy’s way of giving back to a service she deeply believes in.

💙 It’s good to chat — and your support helps us keep these conversations going.
