PO Box 279 Road-Peace is both a self-help and an campaigning organisation. We provide practical and emotional help to people bereaved and injured as a result of a road crash. This support varies from telephone support by our support line or on a one to one referral basis, to visiting those in need or accompanying them at difficult times to inquests, hospitals and so on, when resources permit. Many later join and benefit from the therapeutic effects of helping others and contributing towards our aims. We do not provide qualified psychiatric or psychological counselling and refer anyone requiring this to other organisations with the appropriate qualifications. Nor are we able to provide financial help. RoadPeace also educates and campaigns for a real reduction in danger on our roads, through more responsible driving, a more safely engineered environment and the encouragement of those forms of transport which cause least danger. We are pressing for changes to the law to link penalties more closely to the risks taken by individual drivers, and to bring the treatment of death and injury on the road onto the same footing as any other death or injury. Although the national office is based in London, we have some groups in local areas, our aim being to provide local support by local people. RoadPeace needs more members - the more members we have the more we can help and the more influential we shall be in getting a reduction in the carnage on our roads. Although many of our members have suffered bereavement or injury through a road crash and are keen to support others in the same position, we welcome equally anyone who is concerned about reducing the danger on our roads.
