FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY ROAD TRAFFIC COLLISIONS

Each experience is personal and individual, but it can help to talk to others who are dealing with a similar experience.

NO ONE SHOULD TRAVEL THIS JOURNEY ALONE >

The Road Ahead NI (Charity No. 110220) is a registered charity providing emotional and practical support to people across Northern Ireland affected by road traffic collisions.

Established in 2020 as part of Road Safe NI, it was founded by individuals directly impacted by road crashes. Every volunteer has personal experience of loss, injury or trauma on the roads.

Now an independent charity, we continue to work with Road Safe NI promoting road safety and, when tragedy occurs, offering vital support to bereaved families, survivors, witnesses and first responders.

Our mission is simple: no one should face the aftermath of a road crash alone.

  • The Road Ahead NI (Charity No. 110220) supports individuals, families, and communities across Northern Ireland affected by road traffic collisions. Founded in 2020 as part of Road Safe NI, it was created in response to the impact of road crashes. All volunteers have personal experience with these incidents.

  • Starting in Newry, Mourne and Down, The Road Ahead NI now supports people across Northern Ireland. We get referrals from GPs, social workers, mental health teams, paediatric staff, charities, and individuals seeking urgent trauma support.

    We fill a vital gap, especially for those facing long NHS waits or services that don’t address the specific trauma of road traffic incidents.

  • We’re here to help.

INTERESTED IN ORGANISING A FUNDRAISER FOR US?

At The Road Ahead NI, we believe that no one should travel this journey alone and thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we are determined to keep that promise.
Our services are provided free of charge to those affected by road collisions, but we depend significantly on donations to continue this vital work.
Every contribution, big or small, helps us offer hope, healing, and support when it's needed most. 

Just £50 can provide a vital counselling session for someone struggling with trauma after a road collision.

A donation of £500 could offer a full package of tailored therapy for one individual — giving them the tools to cope, heal, and move forward.

By giving £2,000, you could fund trauma recovery for a whole family — offering them hope and support when they need it most.

£200 can bring 15 people together at a therapeutic workshop, building friendships and peer networks that last a lifetime.
