The Road Safety Trust is delighted to announce that its Spring 2024 Small Grants round will open on 21 March – with a webinar to support potential applicants taking place on 25 March.

The Road Safety Trust is an independent grant-giving trust supporting projects and research that make UK roads safer for all road users. The main aim of the Spring 2024 Small Grants round is to improve road safety at a local level. This will be achieved by funding pilots or trials, expansions of successful trials across a new area, and/or the evaluation of road safety interventions. The round opens on 21 March, closing on 24 April.

Applications of between £10,000 and £50,000 are welcomed from local authorities, police forces, fire and rescue services, registered charities, not-for-profit social enterprises, and community interest companies. Universities can also apply in partnership with another organisation. All projects should have other sources of funding. Projects must also include plans for monitoring and evaluation and an element of partnership and collaboration.

The maximum project length under this grant programme is 24 months.

Anyone thinking of applying is being encouraged to attend a support webinar for applicants on Monday 25 March (2pm). Click here to register.

One-to-one sessions will also be available to discuss potential projects, details of which will be announced during the webinar. A host of detailed guidance and support is also available via The Road Safety Trust website, including the newly-developed editable Application Workbook.
