Large Grants
For grants over £50,000 and up to £200,000
Please note that the Large Grants Round 2026 is now closed for applications with decisions expected by the end of the year.
Who can apply
UK-based legally constituted organisations (charities, public sector organisations, universities, companies and professional organisations) are eligible to apply for funding from The Road Safety Trust.
Organisations will be considered for funding provided that it can be demonstrated that the project is for public benefit and is consistent with the Trust’s priorities.
Individuals are not eligible for Trust grants unless part of a wider research or project team.
Eligible projects
This is a themed round that seeks to address two priority areas:
Preventing harm linked to drug-impaired driving and motorised riding
Safer vehicles
Eligible projects might include evidence reviews, trials, roll-outs, evaluations and support for the profession through guidance or other resources.
Further details about the themes and what we wish to see from proposals may be found using the link below.
