Tayside 4x4 Response is there to assist organisations such as Police Scotland, local authorities and the NHS to name but a few.
Our role is to support them by providing 4x4 transport and logistics to enable them to reach the most vulnerable people in our communities when weather such as snow or flooding make this almost impossible with their own resources.
Last year we supported one of the local Council's, NHS Tayside and Police Scotland during an extreme flooding event that saw residents evacuated from their houses. Our reponders assisted by ensuring staff could get to and from work in hospitals and by transporting residents to the identified place of safety.
Working in floodwater is dangerous but our volunteers do this to help others. We are now asking for your help. We need to purchase some water safety equipment to ensure that any of our volunteers responding in floods have all the essential equipment to help them and any passengers should they find themselves in difficulty and this is backed up by training at DEFRA level 1 so is a formally recognised course.
Thank you in advance for your donation.
