The Road Safety Trust is the largest independent grant-giver in the field of road safety, having made £3.9m of grant awards to 56 road safety initiatives since it was established in 2015. Its Vision is to have zero road deaths and serious injuries on UK roads and its Purpose is to make UK roads safer for all road users, achieving impact through the funding of practical measures, research, dissemination and education.
The Road Safety Trust awards grants of approx. £1m pa to fund projects (research, engineering, direct intervention) that meet our objectives of reducing injuries and deaths for all users on our roads. It is the parent charity to a sizeable trading subsidiary (UKROEd) which operates the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) on behalf of the UK participating Police Forces, who are the charity's members. The annual surplus from UKROEd's trading activities are gifted to the charity as its sole source of income to operate its grant-giving activity.
