What initially began as an arrangement to provide back-office support gradually evolved into discussions around a potential merger of the two organisations. There were significant hurdles along the way, including the need to seek legal advice to ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements, which prevented a swift resolution. However, we are pleased to report that on 28th February 2025, Community Tronsport Wyre Forest formally closed, and from 1st March 2025, Wyre Forest Community Transport off icially came into being. The newly expanded service brings additional funding and resources, offering both a volunteer car service and a minibus option. As a larger organisation, we hope this growth will lead to further opportunities for funding and increased recognition. It is important to note that Wyre Forest Dial-A-Ride remains the registered name of the charity, operating under the trading name of Wyre Forest Communlty Transport. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Llonel Slack, who retired after many years of dedicated service as both a driver and Trustee. We also warmly welcome Trudi Elliott, Sarah Beadsworth, and Cathy Foster, who transferred into the new organisation and have already rnade valua ble contributions. As always, we remain deeply grateful to our staff and volunteers for their continued support and service.
