WE ARE RECRUITING
Easilink AGM 2020/2021
Late last year we welcomed everyone to our first in person AGM since 2019. We took this opportunity to showcase the achievements of the organisation over what has been a challenging year.
We were delighted to be joined by our management board, staff, our many volunteers and Orla Gray from DFI. Most notably on the day, we were joined by two guest speakers; Harry Friar, one of our service users, and John Murray who is one of our volunteer car drivers.
It was very powerful and rewarding for us to hear the individual stories which are often lost behind the many statistics and so we would like to say a big thank you for sharing your personal stories with us. We hope that everyone had an enjoyable morning.

I get a great level of satisfaction from volunteering with Easilink Community Transport. Everyone I lift is so appreciative of the service provided and there is certainly a feel-good factor with it all.
