National Road Victim Month August 2024

On average, 5 people are killed and around 80 people are seriously injured on the UK’s roads every day. RoadPeace, the national charity for road crash victims, founded National Road Victim Month in 1998 in order to raise awareness of this and to support the victims and/or their families. They also aim to honour the work of the emergency services who respond to road collisions, as well as the staff of emergency departments who try relentlessly to save road traffic victims.
