For over 30 years, RoadPeace has been the national charity for road crash victims, offering crucial emotional and practical support to those bereaved or seriously injured in road collisions. Alongside this support, we’ve campaigned tirelessly for justice, road danger reduction, and lasting system-wide change.

Now, we’re proud to announce that our services are expanding to the Channel Islands — one of the few remaining areas previously without direct RoadPeace support.

“As new CEO, I’m putting that right,” says Howard Jones, RoadPeace CEO, who recently visited Jersey and Guernsey to begin laying the foundation for this important new chapter.

A Warm Welcome from Jersey and Guernsey

Howard’s visit focused on meeting local leaders in politics, policing, law, and media — all of whom welcomed RoadPeace’s arrival with strong support and positivity.

“I wasn’t asking for anything other than an audience,” Howard explains, “but offering practical help to hard-pressed police forces and communities facing the realities of road trauma.”

The expansion has already gained national media attention, with the BBC reporting on RoadPeace’s new presence in the Channel Islands. You can read their coverage here.

What Support Will Be Available?

RoadPeace’s support model is now being extended to the Channel Islands, including:

• A national helpline for immediate support and guidance

• Access to peer support groups and one-to-one connections

• Invitations to remembrance events that honour lives lost on the roads

• Legal information and signposting for families navigating complex processes

• Ongoing campaigns to improve justice outcomes and road crash investigations

Victims, families, and survivors in the Channel Islands are now encouraged to reach out, get involved, and access the support they deserve.

Join Us — Be Part of the Local RoadPeace Network

With this expansion, we are actively inviting local supporters, sponsors, and volunteers to help establish community groups in Jersey and Guernsey. These grassroots teams form the core of RoadPeace’s work, offering local insight, peer-led support, and outreach.

“We want to hear from victims, from families, and from anyone who shares our mission,” Howard says. “Together, we can shape a strong support presence on the islands.”

Whether you’ve been personally affected, want to volunteer, or are interested in helping fund our work — your contribution matters.
