WMPCC Outstanding Citizens' Awards 2026

Proud to be nominated for Outstanding Community Group

Back in August we were incredibly proud to announce that West Midlands 4x4 Response had been nominated for the WMPCC Outstanding Citizens' Awards 2026, in the Outstanding Community Group category.

We joined the awards evening at Coventry Boys & Girls Club, hosted by the West Midlands crime commissioner, with the Mayor of Coventry and other dignitaries in attendance. The stories of every organisation and volunteer were truly inspiring. Congratulations to the winners and runners up, and well done to everyone at West Midlands 4x4 Response whose dedication to our communities led to the nomination.

Behind each of those taskings are the people who drive, the people who coordinate from home and the training that keeps everyone safe.

What they say…

What our clients are saying about us.

“Thank you for all your help over the weekend, we really couldn't have done it without your manpower and vehicle support!

Please put our 2024 date in your diary for more 4x4 support, we'd love to work with you all again.”

Conquer Cannock, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation

“Just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to work with the West Mids 4x4 Response team that I had on site at Wolverhampton, They were hardworking (especially on such a hot day!), helped our set-up and de-rig be 10x faster than usual, and were brilliant marshals.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with them all, their support and time really does help us pull off successful events. We can't thank them enough.”

Laura, Events Manager
Cancer Research UK Charity, Running Event

“Just wanted to reach out and say a huge “THANK YOU” for your support over the weekend. It truly makes a difference having your support when we are lacking volunteers and having you guys along the route marshalling really does put our minds at ease!”

Rebecca Richards, Senior Events Manager
Ride The Reservoir, Birmingham Hospice

“Just wanted to say a big thank you again for your support over the past few weeks. Your team have been invaluable, and as an especial thanks, would like to increase our donation to you for your hard work and efforts for both our Santa Sleigh and Fireworks events. Thank you.”
