The Driving Force: Easilink Volunteer Car Drivers
?
Four in every ten trips operated by Easilink Community Transport have a volunteer car driver behind the wheel.
?
On Thursday night, the team of volunteers and office-based staff gathered together for a catch-up dinner and to get an update from CEO Claire Russell on the developments of organisation as a whole.?
?
“Volunteering with Easilink is more than getting people from A to B. They are a friendly face, a happy connection, a person that our passengers have confidence in and can rely on,” said Claire.
?
“They make a real difference in people’s lives and are such an asset to their community and add significant value to our service . We really appreciate the difference they are making and the expertise, knowledge, and commitment they bring".?

Radio star and Strabane native, Hugo Duncan called in to meet the volunteers and spent the evening with the team chatting and entertaining the group with some great yarns and?songs. He also helped manager, Caroline Gallagher to hand out some yummy McColgan's Halloween Cakes, a small gesture of thanks for the huge amount of work carried out.?
