The Road Safety Trust has announced nearly £280,000 in grant funding for seven schemes through its Autumn 2025 Small Grants funding round.
This round focused on research and practical interventions that could save lives on the road.
Ruth Purdie OBE, chief executive of The Road Safety Trust, said: “It was excellent to see such a high level of interest in this particular funding round, and such a broad range, both in terms of the scope of the bids and the applicants themselves.
“Death and serious injury on our roads remain unacceptably high and it’s clear that there are many aspects of road safety that still need to be addressed.
“I congratulate all those who were successful in their applications and I look forward to seeing how their projects can have a positive impact on the safety of our roads and on those who use them.”
Among the successful initiatives are investigations into 20mph speed limit compliance, support for police emergency drivers, VR in road safety education, and motorcycle safety.
A total of 88 expressions of interest were submitted, the highest number ever recorded.
The trust has also opened its ‘Large Grants’ funding round, with up to £200,000 available from a total pot of £750,000.
