Road Safety Trust under the spotlight in podcast

In the latest episode of the RSGB Talk podcast, host Nick Rawlings is joined by Sally Lines OBE and Louise Palomino to discuss the funding provided by the Road Safety Trust. The Road Safety Trust is the largest independent road safety grant giver in the UK and funds research and practical interventions committed to reducing the number of people killed or injured on UK roads.

Since it was established in 2014, the Trust has awarded grants worth £3.7m to 49 different projects.

During the podcast, Sally Lines OBE (chief executive, pictured) and Louise Palomino (grants director) outline how the Trust relies on driving offences for its funding, and discuss the moral dilemma this poses. The pair also outline the impact of Covid-19, including the recently launched Small Grants Plus Programme, which has been modified to encourage applications that respond to changing road use and emerging road safety issues as a result of the pandemic.
