THE ROAD SAFETY TRUST

The Road Safety Trust is an independent UK charitable organization dedicated to reducing the number of deaths and injuries on UK roads by funding research and practical interventions to improve road safety. It operates as a grant-giving trust that supports a wide range of road safety initiatives, including education, engineering, and enforcement measures.

Overview

The Road Safety Trust's primary goal is to achieve zero road deaths and serious injuries across the United Kingdom. It provides grants to UK-based public sector and not-for-profit organizations to support projects and research aimed at making roads safer for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, drivers, and other road users. Grants awarded by the Trust can last up to three years and range in value from £10,000 to £500,000 depending on the funding round and project scope.

Funding Model

The Trust’s funds are primarily generated through its wholly owned trading subsidiary company, UKROEd, which administers the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS). UKROEd operates as a not-for-profit entity and generates revenue by managing driver awareness courses. Any surplus income from UKROEd is donated to The Road Safety Trust to enable it to award grants supporting road safety projects and research.

Activities and Impact

Since its inception, The Road Safety Trust has funded diverse projects such as research into vehicle design, cycling injuries, hazard perception, brake light design, trauma response techniques for road traffic collisions, and police pursuit management. The Trust focuses on generating new knowledge about effective road safety measures, translating research into practical interventions, influencing policy and practice, and fostering collaboration among partners in the road safety sector.

Governance

The Trust is governed by a board of trustees drawn from diverse sectors, including the private sector, civil service, higher education, politics, and crime reduction. The membership of the Trust includes UK Police Forces participating in the NDORS program.

Financial Information

For the financial year ending 31 March 2024, The Road Safety Trust reported a total income of approximately £94.87 million, primarily generated from other trading activities related to UKROEd. The expenditure totaled around £96.47 million, with the majority spent on raising funds and a significant portion dedicated to charitable activities focused on road safety interventions.
