Last week was National Volunteering week. It just so happened to coincide with the end of three year volunteering effort by Autonomy founder, Amanda Lintott and Weave Youth. Amanda has been a volunteer driving instructor supporting Weave Youth's Driving Change program for several years. This program matches volunteer drivers with students that don't have access to a car or a parent to help them accumulate the hours they need to sit for their licence test. Weave also provides the cars and the systems to keep everything running smoothly.
So after 85 hours of volunteering time, Amanda's student, Rupert passed his test first go and is officially on the road. Not sure who looks more excited in this photo.
