New Road Safety Community Grant Fund Launched to Support Local Initiatives

Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn is pleased to announce the launch of the Road Safety Community Grant Fund; a new initiative aimed at improving road safety and supporting community-led projects across the region.

The fund will provide financial support to local organisations, community groups, and partners committed to delivering innovative road safety initiatives. The programme is designed to empower communities to play a direct role in reducing road-related risks, improving awareness, and promoting safer behaviours for all road users.

Supporting Safer Communities

Road safety remains a key priority, with the grant fund focusing on projects that contribute to reducing collisions, preventing injuries, and creating safer environments for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.

Funding will be available for initiatives such as, but not limited to:

Education and awareness programmes
Behaviour-change campaigns
Community road safety engagement events
Training and skills development linked to road safety
Evidence-led pilot projects
Encouraging Innovation and Partnership

The Road Safety Community Grant Fund seeks to support creative and impactful proposals that can demonstrate measurable outcomes. Applicants are encouraged to develop projects that are evidence-based, inclusive, and sustainable.

Partnership working will also be strongly encouraged, with organisations invited to collaborate with local stakeholders, schools, charities, and enforcement agencies to maximise impact.

How to Apply

Eligible organisations are invited to submit applications outlining their project proposals, objectives, and expected outcomes. Applications will be assessed based on their potential to improve road safety, deliver value for money, and achieve meaningful community benefits.

Further information on eligibility criteria, funding amounts, and application deadlines is available in the official guidance document.

Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn said:

“Keeping our communities safe on our roads is a fundamental part of our wider mission to protect the public and reduce harm. This Road Safety Community Grant Fund directly supports the priorities set out in our Police and Crime Plan 2025-2029 – particularly our commitment to preventing crime and harm, supporting safer communities, and working in partnership to address the issues that matter most to local people.

“By investing in community-led initiatives, we are empowering local organisations to deliver practical, innovative solutions that improve road safety, change behaviours, and ultimately save lives. Together, we can make a real difference in ensuring that everyone across the Dyfed-Powys area feels safe when travelling on our roads.”
