Registered Charity 1152110 www.surrey4x4response.org info@surrey4x4response.org Surrey 4x4 Response 4x4 Assistance in Adverse Conditions 59 Wentworth Crescent Ash Vale Surrey GU12 5LF traditional vehicles are no longer a viable option. - patient repatriation - assist with meals on wheels delivery - recover vehicles/ ambulances when needed - gain access to remote areas in flooded conditions During these times on the roads, logistics are maintained through our own volunteer controller network ensuring that the assistance required is delivered as timely and as safely as possible. All our volunteer responders are assessed in their capabilities and familiarised with their vehicles and all have first aid and water awareness training (which is provided by the Charity to its members). The benefit to the wider community is evident in the support and functioning of the frontline services which struggle to be maintained when key staff are not able to get to and from work, key medical staff (Critical and primary carers) being able to attend patients in remote/snowed in areas, medical equipment being in the right place at the right time. **Achievements and Performance** This year Surrey 4x4 Response has re-designed it’s website to improve it’s outward facing profile. This move has enabled us to better describe our Registered Charity 1152110 www.surrey4x4response.org info@surrey4x4response.org Surrey 4x4 Response 4x4 Assistance in Adverse Conditions 59 Wentworth Crescent Ash Vale Surrey GU12 5LF capabilities to prospected agencies but also encouraged new volunteers to our doors. This was evidenced with possibly the largest group of interest from potential new members to date. We have maintained our membership cap at 60 Operational Responders. This ensures that we can continue to concentrate on providing quality training and team cohesion. We have invested time and new funds in training, concentrating on duty of care to our members and welfare. A mild winter presented a false start to the year but was quickly replaced with a record heat wave allowing us to refocus our response for another kind of weather extreme. A deployment on the hottest part of the year tested our systems with great praise from our peers. A return to in person monthly meeting was welcomed by our team and allowed us to re-establish a much needed friendly contact. Covid had clearly had an emotional impact for many and group meeting were a much needed remedy for this. Mental welfare was top of our list this year. We are continuing to maintain our Covid safe contact system for callouts which we will reassess before winter with advice from the agencies that use our services. ## **Financial review** We hold the cash at bank of £9,789, which includes the sum of £1,427 being the balance of the Lottery Grant Restricted Funds. The restricted funds were partially added to the remainder of the radio rollout, but remain for emergency contingency purposes. The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above. Registered Charity 1152110 www.surrey4x4response.org info@surrey4x4response.org **----- Start of picture text -----**
