Strathclyde 4x4 Response
We are the West of Scotland Team of the 4x4 Response Network. We provide experienced volunteer off road drivers to assist the emergency and public services in times of need. The severe winter conditions seen in 2009/2010 and again in 2010/2011 have seen many teams active.
An interesting TV piece about one of our colleague Resilience groups within the West of Scotland.

Well done all bit of screen time for the Island..
Our colleagues in Tayside 4x4 Response are also helping their communities with COVID safe hospital transportation.
Tayside 4x4 Response
This week saw the start of us supporting NHS Tayside with the transportation of patients and equipment using vehicles provided by them.
The volunteers have had familiarisation and training on the safe and appropriate use of PPE, cleaning protocols and moving and handling.
This assistance is so important to help ensure patients get to vital appointments for renal dialysis, cancer appointments and many more.

Loving our new BroadNet Communications system! This allows us to coordinate our Responders from anywhere. Today's Duty Controller, Paddy, is running things from the Isle of Skye
Today on top of delivering 100 prescriptions to be people who are shielding or isolating in East Renfrewshire, we also helped deliver essential Soap supplies to Skye Community Response on behalf of Glasgow the Caring City

Our Responder Paddy met up with Glasgow the Caring City driver Kevin near Loch Cluanie to transfer over 1000 bars of #soapaid from Glasgow to be delivered to Skye Community Response.
Today, in addition to our usual Pharmacy Deliveries, we are helping Glasgow the Caring City with the delivery of #soapaid to Skye Community Response and The Community Foodbank - Skye and Lochalsh. This is another example of the voluntary agencies working together, and our thanks must go to Glasgow and Clyde Raynet for providing the tools (BroadNet) and central coordination that makes this happen!
