Success Stories
Just a small selection of our recent successes
A good old natter
“Carelink has helped me a lot, especially this past twelve months.
I’m pleased that there is somewhere like this. You meet a nice group of people, Not forgetting carers & volunteers.
I look forward to Tuesday mornings meeting people and having a good old natter as everyone has a problem they’d like to share.”


Making life worthwhile
“You all make life worthwhile and I look forward to your phone call as I am housebound.
Lots of love to you all”
Friendly and helpful
“Everybody I’ve come in contact with are so friendly and helpful especially Nicky and Shirley who rings me every week and I really look forward to her calls.
Nicky helped me get sorted out with British Gas. She is absolutely brilliant, can’t fault her.
You all do a wonderful job.”


Everyone welcome
“I would also like to thank you for arranging for me to go for my Christmas Dinner at Swan Bank Church. It was a very enjoyable day.
They made everyone welcome and do a wonderful job.
Thank you to everyone for all the work that you put in to help people like me.
Best wishes”
New connections galore
“Over 6 years I’ve connected with a whole new community I didn’t know existed.”


Someone to call on
“I have been very grateful for all your help, and it is a great comfort to know that there is someone to call on in times of need.
Very many thanks.”
Safe place
“Words cannot explain how much we appreciate all the support that you gave to my/our dad, he really values your weekly calls. His health is not great plus he is in and out of hospital.
Now back at home, his safe place, for Xmas.
From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you.”


The Chatty Café
“The Chatty Café has given me my life back after my husband passed away & went into some very dark places.
My friend and I decided to try the Chatty Café and it changed my life. I am now moving forward in the light.
The staff are wonderful and very caring.
Bless you all.”
Thank you to all the staff at Carelink
“Just a few lines to thank all the staff at Carelink for the care and kindness shown to me after the loss of my wife Dorothy after 63 years, and the friendly phone calls from complete strangers who gave their own time to do so, for which I’m most grateful.
It’s nice to know there is such caring people in the world.”
