About Brake

• We give families specialist emotional and practical support to help them cope with the trauma of road death and injury.
• We help the professionals supporting those families to understand their needs so they can provide better support.
• We challenge the Government to adopt solutions that are known to prevent road crashes and reduce harm if a crash does happen.
• We empower people to speak up for their right to make safe and healthy journeys, whoever they are and however they travel.
• We help people understand how they can use roads safely to protect themselves and others.
• We help organisations to learn about, and manage, work-related road risk.

Our vision is a world with zero road death and injury, where we can all move in a safe and healthy way, whoever we are and however we travel. A death or serious injury on roads should be a rare and unusual event. But sadly, today’s reality is that five people die on the UK’s roads every day, and more than 15 times as many people are seriously injured.

Our staff are our greatest asset and we have a brilliant and dedicated team. Follow the links below to find out more about our key staff and our board of trustees who govern everything that we do.

We're proud to achieve a lot with limited resources and we couldn't do it without our fantastic teams of fundraisers and volunteers, and the incredible organisations we partner with. On behalf of Brake, we thank each and every one of you!
