Highland 4x4 Response Group is manned by a voluntary group of 4x4 owners offering their time, vehicles and expertise to Statutory and other voluntary agencies in emergency situations and times of crisis. View our Constitution.
Highland 4x4 Response Group covers the Highlands of Scotland. We are a member on the National 4x4 Response Network.

We respond only to calls from Statutory and other voluntary agencies where we have an agreement in place. We do not respond to calls from members of the public - members of the public are requested to dial 999 and ask for the appropriate service whenever there is any danger to life and/or property.

Statutory and voluntary agencies interested in utilising our services should contact a Team Controller via the contact page.

• the groups objectives

  • To establish a team of volunteer owners of 4x4 vehicles that can be called upon to provide support throughout the Highlands of Scotland.
  • To provide training of members to ensure they are sufficiently competent to provide support when required.
  • To maintain contact with potential user services to ensure that they are aware of the existence of the group.
  • To organise training and team building activities to improve the groups capabilities and improve teamwork.
  • To maintain an awareness of contingency planning activities in the Highlands and become involved in cross service exercises.

With the risk of flooding and extreme weather in the Highlands and where uneven terrain is involved, the emergency and voluntary services often find themselves without the correct resources. Highland 4x4 Response Group provides valuable support in these circumstances. 24/7/365.
