Local authorities, charities, community groups and other organisations with a commitment to road safety are being invited to apply for funding from The Road Safety Trust.
The trust will open its Small Grants Programme for applications on 28 March.
The Small Grants Programme funds local projects with a practical focus that ‘show a proposed link to reducing casualties’.
Each successful project will be awarded between £10k and £50k for up to two years – and can include pilots or trials, expansions of successful trials across a new area, and the evaluation of road safety interventions.
Sonya Hurt, chief executive of The Road Safety Trust, said: “This is an excellent opportunity for the road safety profession to bid for funding. We are committed to funding road safety initiatives which help to save lives on the UK roads.
“We support applicants who are interested in applying for funding. Part of this process will be a webinar event and I would encourage you to get in contact with our grants team.
“Our approach is collaborative with a focus on partnership working. Initiatives should demonstrate this approach and the ability to be evidence led, via monitoring and evaluation.
“We look forward to receiving your applications and funding initiatives which can really help to make a difference to road safety in the UK.”
Once open, applications for funding will be welcomed until 4 May.
