The Road Safety Trust awards grants of between £10,000 and £50,000 to Local Authorities, Police Forces, Fire and Rescue Services or UK-based registered charities, legally constituted not-for-profit social enterprises or community interest companies who seek to improve road safety at a local level.

The grant theme for the Autumn 2024 round is on the subject of ‘Inequalities in Road Safety’. Road Safety is relevant to everyone, but there are known inequalities in health, sex and gender, age, society and economic circumstances which mean that the use of the roads is not equally safe for everyone. The aim of this grant programme is to bring to light areas of road safety inequality and investigate ways they can be addressed to save lives and prevent injury on UK roads.

In this round the Trust are interested in how the interplay of various interconnected factors, including human, vehicle, and environmental elements may give rise to inequalities in Road Safety. We are also interested in how practitioners and policy makers may be supported to address inequalities in Road Safety through following a safe system approach.

Eligible projects include pilots and trials, improving, developing and expanding successful trials and interventions, and the evaluation of projects and interventions. All applications must include a focus on monitoring and evaluation of effectiveness.

Deadline: Currently closed. Reopening 26 September 2024. Register for their webinar on 26 September, 2-3pm to find out more.
