Volunteer 4×4 response team covers over 2000 miles to drive NHS staff to work through snow
A 4×4 volunteer group covered over 2,000 miles to drive essential NHS workers through the snow to get to work safely.
Volunteers from the charity 4×4 Response Wales provided vital transport for staff, from Betsi Cadwaladr University Heath Board (BCUHB) during snowy weather over the last few weeks, so they can safely get to work when their own vehicles cannot cope with the conditions.
The health board has an agreement with the 4×4 Response Wales group as part of its Adverse Weather Plan, so that the specially trained team is able to step in and support staff 24/7 every day throughout the year, to ensure no essential shifts are missed due to adverse weather.
