South East 4x4 Response supported the Heart of Kent Hospice Bluebell walk today by manning 5 of the 13 marshal points along with transporting a number of marshals to and from their stations. Whilst a misty start to the day, the sun soon came out to make an enjoyable event.

The Fundraising team had a great day at the Sheppey St George's Day event with the public supporting out tombola, Spin the Wheel game and purchasing some of the St George's Day cakes made especially for the occasion. It was good to welcome so many people to our stall.

Despite an overcast day, our fundraising team had a successful day at the Heritage Transport Show at Detling Showground. It was a great opportunity for the public to see some of our volunteers vehicles along with the kit we carry for different deployments.

We would like to thank Trevor at Lemon Labels for the very kind donation of 12 rolls of stickers for our Truck Pull Challenge. We will be giving them out to those brave enough to take part in our 2 tonne truck pull at certain events this year, whether they are children or adults.

South East 4x4 Response were at the Kent Voluntary Sector Emergency Group (KVSEG) Services and Capabilities Event sharing our good practice with other emergency groups, along with the Kent and Medway Resilience Forum (KMRF). Four of our team attended supporting the event where our Chairman, David, gave a 15 minute presentation on our offering to KVSEG. Also attending to show their offering were Kent Search and Rescue, South East Cave Rescue Organisation, SE Air Search, Raynet, British Red Cross, Kent Fire & Rescue Service, Salvation Army, along with Rotary South East. There was plenty of time before, during and after to network and share common interests where groups might work together in the future.

Our responder team were on standby in the Leeds Castle car parks during the Leeds Castle Lottery Day which attracted many visitors. Following the heavy rain, the ground was rather sticky and muddy. The team were there to support drivers whose vehicles might become stuck in the muddy conditions. In the event, no help was needed, however, an event helper had an issue with the rear tyre of her Ford Kuga. A responder was at hand to check the tyre pressures on all the tyres, pumping up the rear tyre which was low, to ensure that the owner was able to have a safe journey home.

We would like to thank the Weald of Kent Ploughing Match Association for their very kind donation of £500 towards our funds. Last September responders assisted many drivers during the dreadful muddy conditions at the ploughing match on and off the field.

We would like to thank Invicta Rotary for their kind donation of £150 following a talk given by 2 of our responders about the work we do within the community of Kent as South East 4x4 Response.
