As of 25th of September 2017 Voirrey has had her temporary contract extended, meaning for a short while longer we can continue to learn from and enjoy her company and amazing bread making.
Voirrey wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone for their kindness and support.

I am an alumni of the MSc program and founder of the Emerging Future Institute. Voirrey is an amazingly warm person and part of the fabric of the Old Postern and Schumacher College. I do hope that management makes a wise decision.
Voirrey made my dissertation possible as well as making it pleasurable. She has always been a friend to me and has guided me many times. Schumacher and the space it occupies would not be the same without her.
Voirrey is the soul of Schumacher. I learned a lot with her and her beautiful process of baking and sharing her skills with students. For me she represents the real meaning of what is to do things with hands, hearts and head :)
The role Voirrey plays at Schumacher has crucial impact on the students learning journey as she is not only caring and hard working example of comitment to this project, but also a well of knowledge and wisdom for all of us.
Voirrey. She was always the accessible person at Schumacher. Whenever others were too busy, too pre occupied, too full of themselves Voirrey would be there to listen, reassure, respond. Shame on Schumacher. Small ( including small but vitally important roles) is beautiful.
Vorrey is an one of those staff at Schumacher who at a glance from far away - you wonder what does she do, why is her work important to the college ? When we look from within the community, the only place from which you get a real sense what is going on at the college - vorrey a work is invaluable! Vorrey does not only bake all of schmachers bread, with her own recepies, she leads workshops in the art of fermenting, she is a bridge between students and staff, she teaches students to bake their own bread, she works on making the grower/kitchen relationship more refined and clear. She helps in the Garden, she bakes the bread for th green table - may popular bread that many want to buy to take home with them. She helps with cooking, taking a big load off the Schumacher chefs - there is a list of reasons why she is invaluable to the annually renewing college community - a solid rock of consistency - making her redundant would not be based on a fair reasoning that is based on internal college experience - and would therefore be the usual top down approach - that I believe Dartington wants to transform into horizontal politics. It would be important to find an alternative cooperative solution for vorrey and thefollege! For example to open Dartington estates own bakery - which she can run with schumachers principles. Thank you for listening!
Voirrey is not just an amazing bread baker. She is in the kitchen every night she is there, she listens, responds, discusses, she is holding space for the students, who know that she is always there. I experienced her more as a councilor, supporting Schumacher College not only with bread, but with her presence. For me Voirrey fulfills a very important role, that might not be fully recognizes yet. I agree that It would be a huge loss, if her role endend.

Voirrey is an integral part of the Schumacher Community - she not only makes bread but also holds a nurturing space for all its residents, embodying the Schumacher philosophy. She is warm, caring and wise and I cannot emphasise her presence and effort in the culture of care at the college.
