South East 4x4 Response, are celebrating being awarded £10,000 in National Lottery funding. The cheque presented by Helen Bonser-Wilton, Chief Executive of Leeds Castle will support our work with providing voluntary assistance to emergency services, communities, Kent County Council and other agencies, particularly in time of adverse weather and when resources are stretched. We have used the money to replace our pre-existing response trailer with two new trailers and to refurbish the livery on an older trailer.

Our Trailer Replacement/Refit Project has been made possible with a grant from The National Lottery Community Fund. With thanks to National Lottery players and the Government, we have been able to replace and refit our worn out trailer with two new ones which are used for dealing with road closures owing to, for example, fallen trees and supporting evacuation of communities where flooding occurs; providing power and lighting in adverse conditions for incidents away from public roads and supporting our members with extra resources during call outs.
