TAF will prioritise those who are likely to face barriers, described in this Migration Observatory report, and has a particular interest in the needs and rights of young people. Recent attention given to the Windrush generation and young people who have spent the majority of their lives in the UK but do not have settled status highlights the importance of this fund.

The Road Safety Trust is an independent grant-giving trust which supports projects and research that make UK roads safer for all road users - pedestrians, cyclists, mobility scooter users, car drivers, lorry and van drivers, and motorcyclists. Each round of funding available from the Road Safety Trust has its own theme. The main aim of the Small Grants Programme is to improve road safety at a local level. They are looking for measurable interventions that link to local priorities and show a proposed link to reducing casualties either directly or through clear interim measures. In 2020 they are particularly encourage applications that respond to changing road use and emerging road safety issues as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Eligible projects are pilots/trials, expanding successful trials across a new area, and/or the evaluation of interventions. Projects should have the potential for being brought to scale - with the ultimate goal of reducing deaths and injuries both locally and across the UK. The theme for the 2020 major grants round will be “How can technology be used to reduce road offending and promote safe driving?”.
