PROJECTS which aim to bolster road safety at a local level are being invited to apply for funding from the Road Safety Trust.
The main aim of the trust's Small Grants Programme is to improve road safety at a grassroots level. The programme has been designed after organisation reviewed its first four years of funding and listened to the views of stakeholders.
The trust is looking for measurable interventions that link to local priorities and show a proposed link to reducing casualties either directly or through clear interim measures.
The maximum project length under this grant programme is 24 months. The minimum amount is £10,000 and the maximum is £30,000 over two years in total.
Local authorities, police forces, fire and rescue services or UK-based registered charities, legally constituted not-for-profit social enterprises or community interest companies can apply.
A total pot of £120,000 is available for this round of funding.
All projects are expected to produce a report and describe how it will be shared and promoted.
The deadline for applications is Monday, October 19. For more information, and to apply, visit https://www.roadsafetytrust.org.uk
