Support for victims
RoadPeace provides emotional and practical support to anyone bereaved or injured in a road crash.
Over 30,000 people are killed or seriously injured every year in Britain and there are over 250,000 road casualties in total - we are here for all these people as well as anyone else who may be affected.
There are many ways in which we provide support to victims - one of the main ways is through our national helpline. The Helpline provides emotional and practical support to victims and is open from 9am-9pm 7 days a week. This is the first port of call for many people and it remains a central part of the work we do.

- by helping and supporting any member campaigns. Although we cannot campaign on individual cases, we are here to provide you with guidance
- by providing ways of remembrance (including the World Day of Remembrance, roadside memorials, internet memorials, RoadPeace wood)
