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.

One of our responders has been out towing Santa's sleigh for the last of his early visits to the Sittingbourne area. Well done to all the volunteers who supported the many sleigh rounds that happened this year bringing joy to all the children in the areas Santa visited.

The fundraising and the event teams were busy all day at the Sittingbourne Christmas Lights event with record crowds attending the tombola and cake stalls. Thank you to all who came to support us, it was an amazing end to our fundraising season. An event enjoyed by all.

Two of our responders were out again at the weekend towing the Sittingbourne Carnival Court's Wicked float for their final appearance of the year in Faversham. Well done to all involved with the Sittingbourne Carnival Court as they were awarded 1st Place - Most Outstanding Award along with 1st Place - Tableau (Overall Float, Chaperones and Court) at the final event. Congratulations!

A rather unusual request for South East 4x4 Response came in. Two of our responders valiantly rose to the occasion to safely tow the Sittingbourne Carnival Court float to the Lydd Club Day Carnival. The float won best 1st place as Best Float of Day! Well done to all.

A wonderful response from visitors to our fundraising stalls at the Sittingbourne Christmas Lights event. Queues formed down the High Street to buy tickets in hope of being one of the many lucky people to win one of our fabulous, very popular, tombola prizes. Our cake stall proved popular too, selling out by the end of the day. Whilst some of the team were manning the fundraising stalls, others were giving out stickers or supporting the Christmas Lights team as marshals for the event. We were, of course, delighted to have a visit from the Mayor.
