## Wessex 4x4 Response 

## 2020 Annual report 

Operationally, the most significant development of the year was the impacts on the organisation of the pandemic.  We have remained fully engaged with our Local Resilience Forums throughout this time, though thankfully the health impacts in our region were such that the support from our volunteers wasn’t often required.  Whilst at the start of the year we continued our strong relationship with Dorset Search and Rescue, the social distancing requirements of the pandemic limited our ability to work together for most of the year. 

In order to protect the financial stability of the charity (and as a direct impact of the need to social distance), we have paused the final fitout and shake-down of our Incident Support Units; this will resume as and when conditions permit.  These units allowing us to provide on scene command and control office space, tactical communications with our own responders and partner agencies, as well as comprehensive welfare facilities to ensure we look after our responders.  The next phase of the Support Unit programme will be the development of Event Support Units - smaller assets which are primarily used for events or small scale incidents, or to provide additional resources alongside the ISUs. The specification of these will be worked up in future years (as we identify how they fit alongside the ISUs) and will be the subject of future fundraising. 

Over the course of the year, we have developed some of the IT backend capability we have at our disposal, in order to allow our volunteers to better maintain contact with each other, and to move some of our regular training online.  Alongside this we have continued to develop and improve our internal processes in order to better communicate with our membership and ensure they are suitably trained. We had stated an intent to capture our organisational knowledge in a formal manner, and this work continues to ensure that the organisation is not dependent upon a small number of individuals. As any organisation will attest, this is a mammoth task, and one which will take a number of years, but will hopefully allow us to build on previous knowledge, rather than reinventing the same solutions every few years.
