Membership

Community 4x4 Response are always happy to welcome new members, and don’t worry if you have little or even no off-road experience. Our team of experienced responders have the collective knowledge and skills to get you ready and give you the confidence to be deployed into any scenario.

You will never have to do a job that you are not 100% happy doing, so if you do want to become a member but feel that there are things that you won’t be able to do, that’s perfectly fine.

If you want to help, but don’t want to go out on deployment, then you can. Not everyone has to drive a 4x4 vehicle or even leave their house to help. We are always happy to take on people who feel better suited to running control for our responders and making sure they are safe, and even people who just want to fundraise.

Our volunteers take part in tasks such as:

• Transporting essential medical personnel during adverse weather conditions to and from hospitals
• Transporting district nurses to patients during adverse weather conditions
• Providing logistic support to Local Authorities during floods and other adverse weather conditions
• Assisting in the transportation of police officers during adverse weather conditions
• Getting personnel and equipment close to the scene in emergencies where only 4x4 vehicles are capable of doing so
• Supporting rescue organisations in severe weather and in arduous terrain
• Providing food and water to drivers and passengers stuck in their vehicles
• Assisting with car parking, traffic management and marshalling at events
• Going out into the community and fundraising
