Wessex 4x4 Response
2022 Annual Report
2022 has seen a further return to pre-COVID levels of activity.
However, the Voluntary Sector continues to see reluctance, on behalf of traditional members, to volunteer to the same degree as before the pandemic. We as a Group continue to urge our existing members to make themselves more available, we are also actively recruiting new members.
Now that there is more freedom of circulation on-line training is still very useful, but it does not have the “social” content of face-to-face training, which continues to be important. Responders’ Foundation Training (or Induction into the Group) is only available on a face-to-face basis which enhances the “Welcome to the Group” aspect.
During lockdown we continued to work closely with various SAR (Search and Rescue) Groups, in particular with DorSAR (Dorset Search and Rescue). Similarly, Weather Reaction activities continued during lockdown. Many of our Responders volunteered (outside our Group) to assist with marshalling and car park duties at major vaccination centres.
We are now seeing a welcome increase in Carnivals and other events such as Cancer Research UK fund-raisers, which frequently need marshalling and other assistance, such as enforcing approved road closure orders. Other major events that are recommencing include Glastonbury Festival and County Shows.
Another consequence of the passing of lockdown is that our LRF (Local Resilience Forum) partners whose plans for exercises were restricted to “table top” exercises are starting to recommence practical exercises.
In terms of running costs, we can only hope for a return to pre-Ukraine levels of fuel costs which have a serious effect on our Responders, many of whom struggle to operate their vehicles within the longstanding HMRC allowance of 45 pence per mile.
We have come through Covid and are now looking forward to continuing to provide effective support to our LRF Partners.
