FOR ADULTS & CHILDREN

AFFECTED BY ROAD TRAFFIC COLLISIONS

Every person's experience of road trauma is unique, and the impact can affect individuals and families in different ways..

While each journey is personal, many people find strength and comfort in connecting with others who have experienced similar challenges. Knowing that you are not alone, being able to share your experiences without judgement, and receiving support from people who truly understand can play an important role in healing, recovery, and rebuilding hope for the future.

NO ONE SHOULD TRAVEL THIS JOURNEY ALONE >

The Road Ahead NI(Charity No. 110220) is a registered charity in Northern Ireland providing emotional and practical support to adults and children across the region and border counties, affected by road traffic collisions. The Road Ahead NI offer dedicated Adult and Children’s services, offering free, trauma informed support to those that have experienced the trauma of a road traffic collision.

Established in 2020 as a service 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, children, 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.
