The Road Safety Trust
Making UK roads safer for all users
Grant-making across the UK to improve road safety
We are an independent grant-giving Trust working hard to reduce the numbers of people killed or injured on our roads. We do this by funding research and new, practical interventions into improvements in road safety.
Our vision is to have zero road deaths and serious injuries on UK roads
All the work of The Road Safety Trust is targeted towards achieving this vision. Our funds come from our trading subsidiary company, UKROEd, which operates the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS). UKROEd is a not-for-profit organisation that gifts any surplus to the Road Safety Trust at the end of the financial year. This enables us to award grants to support a wide range of road safety initiatives every year. These grants are available for up to three years, and can be worth as much as £500,000.
