From 13th February, we will be moving our centre of operation and our 5 cars to a new location just outside of Wiveliscombe. 

The new office at Higher Ford Farm will provide parking for the wheelchair accessible cars that drive across the 10 Parishes, taking residents to social, medical and shopping trips as far as Taunton and Dulverton.  

The new office is perfectly suited to running the service, with room for the team of staff and volunteers who take bookings on the phone lines between 9.30am and 1pm on weekdays. 

Wivey Link members will be able to pay their invoices in person at the new office, over the phone or via a link in their email. All members will be sent full details and timings with the new address in their next newsletter. 

Concerns over future parking costs in Wiveliscombe, as well as rising costs for charities, led the charity to review its services and costs. If parking charges in Wiveliscombe come in, the cost for our 5 cars and those of our volunteer drivers each day would be prohibitive. The move safeguards the charity against these costs in the future, as well as freeing up spaces in the ever-popular Croft Way car park for the growing population of the town. 

Based at The Community Office since the charity began, Wivey Link Community Transport has seen the town change and develop over the years. We have enjoyed being a part of the town’s activities, from storing the Christmas lights, hosting local charities, managing the Library and being a hub for local information. We have worked closely with the Town Council and local events and we will continue to do so from our new offices. 

As with so many charities, we have to adapt to secure the future of the charity; we look forward to serving the community for many years to come from our new home in Ford.  

Our new address is:

Wivey Link

Suite 1, Higher Ford Farm Barns

Ford, TA4 2RL
