The Rees Jeffreys Road Fund charity has been providing funding for transport professional education and road-related projects for 75 years. They currently have a funding round open, with the next deadline for applications for funding only a few weeks away, on the 11th April 2025.
Two types of funding are available:
Ready for the Future grants – for transport professionals to support them to gain the emerging skills needed for the future in the transport sector.
Aimed at filling the future skills gap, applicants can apply for funding to learn about things such as AI and data through to behavioural science, accessibility and inclusion.
The grants are targeted at people who would not otherwise be able to afford to study and who can use their newly acquired skills in an impactful way in the transport sector.
Grants of up to £10,000 are available to cover course fees.
The deadline for applications is the 11th April 2025. More information about the scheme is at Ready For The Future Grants – Rees Jeffreys Road Fund
Grants for innovative research and educational projects – for organisations and collaborations.
The grants are aimed at projects that promote and advance how roads are experienced by everyone in the UK.
Grants of up to £30,000 are available for projects that develop and test new ideas or create new learning that make roads safer, more efficient and effective in terms of maintenance, environmental impact and user experience.
The next deadline for applications is 11th April 2025.
Potential applicants are encouraged to get in touch with the Rees Jeffreys Road Fund to discuss their proposed project application.
