Grapevine Project & CS
V
Grapvine Project was the selected as the volunteer charity of the year at CSVs recent annual event, which this year was held at the Palace Hotel in Buxton.
A group of attendees - including Dame Elisabeth Hoodless (pictured left) - re-painted our main office at St James Terrace AND they raised nearly £800 for the Project at their annual charity auction.
The evening event was attended by Grapevine's Director, Chairperson and Volunteer Co-ordinator. "I am completely speechless" said Grapevine's Mark Smith at the conclusion of the auction. He went on to thank the CSV and all the delegates for their contributions (not totally speechless then). This event has once again helped to raise Grapevine's profile and underlines the value of the work our volunteers do. As a small, local mental health charity, Grapevine can and does make a BIG difference.

We want to use the money raised to create a long and lasting legacy FOR the volunteers and members. It has been suggested that the money should be used to further support our Digging Therapy programme, based at our Fairfield allotment.
