Whilst we post regularly asking if people would like to become volunteer drivers (as its always useful to have more drivers available to us) we should also be thankful for the 40 drivers we currently have on our rota, without the generosity of time from our volunteer drivers our passengers would not be going anywhere. So please join us in thanking each and every one of them for supporting Wivey Link and helping to get the community where it needs to go.

Last week, we were delighted to welcome Jayne Alcock from Discovery Learning Disability Support to deliver a training session for the staff and volunteers at Wivey Link.

Together, we explored how we can better support neurodiverse people and people with autism, from the moment they book a journey through to the support they receive while travelling with us.

The session gave us valuable insights that will help shape the way we design our services and ensure our new volunteer drivers are better equipped to understand and support the diverse needs of the people they meet every day.

It was an informative and thought-provoking session, with plenty of opportunities to share our own experiences and discuss practical ways to make our service even more inclusive.

A huge thank you to Jayne and everyone at Discovery Learning Disability Support for sharing their expertise and helping us continue to improve the support we provide to our community.

We are delighted to announce that our Wivey Link Coordinator, Mel North, has stepped into the role of Wivey Link Manager.

Mel is a familiar face to many in Wiveliscombe. As well as coordinating Wivey Link, she volunteers at the Somerset Libraries Wiveliscombe and coordinates the Wiveliscombe Community Centre. Her dedication to our community is matched only by her calm, positive approach, and we know she'll do a fantastic job leading our team and transport service.

This change also allows our previous Manager, Bec Briar, to focus on the increasingly important task of securing funding for Wivey Link. Bec is now our Fundraising and Development Manager, where she'll be using her experience in fundraising and strategy to help keep our community transport service affordable and sustainable for everyone.

We're pleased that Bec remains a valued member of the Wivey Link team and continues to play an active role in the organisation, while Mel takes the lead in managing our day-to-day service.

Please join us in congratulating Mel on her new role and wishing both Mel and Bec every success in their new positions!
