Road Safety Trust - Small Grants Programme
Up to £30,000 for projects that improve road safety at a local level.
The programme has been designed after reviewing our first four years of funding and listening to the views of stakeholders. This told us that there was a need for funding for smaller, local projects with a practical focus.
We are looking for measurable interventions that link to local priorities and show a proposed link to reducing casualties either directly or through clear interim measures.
Treating each project as a journey to making a tangible difference on the roads. This grants programme supports our strategic priority - Pilots that test.
The current Small Grants round is open until 4 May 2023.
