MACT Chairman’s Report 20[th] September 2023
I can’t believe this is my 7[th] report: doesn’t time fly when you are having fun!
Since the merger with Holt Community Bus last year, the self-drive bookings have increased, and we acquired the funds to purchase a replacement bus for the school run: always good to have a win-win situation.
A recent donation from the Friends of Melksham Hospital was gratefully received and will help towards covering the reduction in Grants. However, our long-term future cannot rely on help from other charities and a fund-raising campaign is needed to finance the replacement of other vehicles when needed.
After many years at a Trustee and Chairman of the Group, Sam (Robert) Selman has now resigned, saying it was a pleasure to be part of such a successful organisation: we thank him for his contribution.
As George Brown is in the process of handing over his responsibilities after 25 years, it is a good time to recognise the incredible legacy he has built-up over those years; thankfully, he is not going anywhere and will still be available for consultation.
We are indeed fortunate to have the necessary skills to continue and I thank all committee members for their willingness to take on extra responsibilities.
Our mix of services to the good people of Melksham and surrounding villages cover a diverse and overarching representation: helping to alleviate social isolation amongst the elderly; ease the pressure on busy professionals; transport children to and from school in a safe and reliable manner; at the same time providing our dedicated and proficient drivers with an income and job-satisfaction.
Long may we continue!
