Yesterday we held our coffee afternoon and I am so chuffed to say we raised £1175 😲
A huge thanks to everyone who came along , bought raffles, bottle stall and home baking etc. Also to everyone who donated for raffle, bottle stall or in any other way and those who did baking for us - it all helped so much.
Thankyou to all our helpers and drivers who gave up their afternoon to help set up the hall etc etc.
This all helps keep our buses running ❤️

Nearly time once more for our coffee afternoon.
Slightly earlier this time as we thought November had lots on in run up to Christmas so will try October.
Pop along for cuppa and scone and as usual raffles, bottle stall and home bakes will be on sale. At 3 pm we will have fun bingo.
Any donations for home bakes,, bottle stall or raffle would be gratefully received. You can drop off at office or give us a call and we will collect.

Huge thankyou to both Robertson's Coffeehouse and the Merkister Hotel for having us along for our 'mystery' lunch trips. Our members were served with soup , sandwiches with tea/coffee and home bakes 🙂
Very tasty!!
Also as always thankyou to our volunteer drivers and escorts who give up their time to make these trips possible.

We are delighted to announce our total for our Blue Door week is £3035.56 😃
We want to say a huge thankyou to the Blue door staff for having us, to all who donated, baked, gave raffle prizes, bought raffle tickets and gave up time to work in the shop but most of all everyone who purchased goods that week.
This will help us keep the buses running 😜

Please pop along and see this lovely artwork done by the late Itha Flaws.
Itha joined Dialabus few years ago and loved getting out and about with us on our various lunch trips , concerts, panto and coffee afternoons.
The family are very kindly and generously passing on the proceeds to us here at Dialabus ❤️

Morning everyone
We have been gathering donations for our Blue Door week 11-15 August. Just to say we are delighted that we have more than enough gathered here so don't need any more donations 🙂
BUT we would be very grateful for any baking or raffle prizes for that week - we can collect or you can drop off at office.
We also wondered if anyone would be free to maybe cover the shop at Blue Door - we have a few slots we are struggling to cover 😟 if you can help please call us 871515 and see what times we need.
Thankyou so much for all your support 🙂
