About
The Road Safety Trust is an independent grant-giving charity dedicated to reducing the numbers of people killed or injured on UK roads. The Trust funds research and practical interventions to improve road safety, with a vision of achieving zero road deaths and serious injuries. Its funding comes from UKROEd, a subsidiary that operates the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS), enabling the Trust to award grants of up to £300,000 for up to three years to UK-based public sector and not-for-profit organisations.
Funding Opportunities
Large Grants Programme
The Road Safety Trust's Large Grants Programme provides funding for grants over £50,000 and up to £200,000 for UK-based legally constituted organizations. The programme focuses on road safety initiatives and invites applications on specific themes each year. For the 2026 round, the Trust is seeking to address two priority areas: preventing harm linked to drug-impaired driving and motorized riding, and safer vehicles. Eligible projects might include evidence reviews, trials, roll-outs, evaluations and support for the profession through guidance or other resources. UK-based charities, public sector organizations, universities, companies and professional organizations are eligible to apply, provided that the project is for public benefit and consistent with the Trust's priorities. The Trust works toward the vision of zero deaths and serious injuries on UK roads.
Small Grants Programme
The Small Grants Programme provides funding for innovative, practical-based projects aimed at improving road safety in the UK. The programme seeks projects that develop new approaches, improve the delivery of existing projects, or evaluate road safety interventions. Projects should link to local or national priorities and contribute to reducing deaths and injuries on UK roads, either directly or through clear activities to reduce risk. All projects must strengthen the evidence base and contribute to learning or insights about road safety, making a measurable difference at a local or national level. Projects should have some influence in the areas of policy, practice or legislation depending on the size and nature of the work being undertaken. An element of partnership working or collaboration with other organisations is required for all projects.
