Support in your local area

These meetings offer the opportunity for continuing mutual support between bereaved families.

They also provide a means of learning what else is happening in the local area and of taking action if members wish to do so.

Victims who use our support services are encouraged to contact our support team on 0800 160 1069 or email helpline@roadpeace.org if they have any concerns or issues.
