Cash boost for North Wales 4×4 volunteers who helped snowbound NHS staff
A team of 4×4 volunteers who helped snowbound NHS staff at the beginning of the year are expanding their service across North Wales.
Charity 4×4 Response Wales are upgrading critical communications equipment and training more members after receiving a £2,000 grant from The Police and Community Trust North Wales (PACT).
The voluntary organisation assists police, emergency planners and other blue light responders by offering their 4×4 vehicles in a crisis.
Volunteers recently supported North Wales Police during the Bangor-on-Dee flood emergency in January. They also covered more than 2,000 miles while driving 52 workers from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) through snowy weather at the start of the year so they could get to work safely when their own vehicles could not cope with the conditions.
