The GEM Road Safety Charity is reminding potential applicants that there is now only one week left to submit applications, ahead of the current funding window closing on Friday 30 January 2026.
With grants of up to £10,000 for road safety projects, the charity is keen to ensure that community groups, charities and other organisations with strong project ideas do not miss the imminent deadline for applications to be received.
Since it was established in 1985, the Charity has funded many projects which have aimed to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on the UK’s roads.
Laura Ward, chair of the charity, encouraged potential applicants to ensure their applications were in line with published guidelines.
“It helps a great deal if applicants can provide a clear explanation of a project’s road safety benefit, and of the proposed wider impact, as well as a robust evaluation mechanism,” she said.
“With just a week to go, we are encouraging anyone considering an application to get their submission completed and over the line as soon as possible.
“If you have a strong idea that can deliver a clear road safety benefit, now is the time to act so that your project can be considered in this funding round.”
