Bereaved families urged to help A road safety charitable trust is seeking people affected by a road crash to get in contact and help pass on road safety messages to communities. The charity Brake is particularly looking for people who have been bereaved or seriously injured in a crash and who would be willing to share their story and help others to
learn from their experiences. Brake will be communicating vital road safety messages as part of Road Safety Week (7-13 May), and those who get involved would be asked to provide a case study of their experience and to provide quotes and/or give interviews to media during the Week to support these messages. “If you’ve been affected by a road
crash, you know first-hand what a traumatic experience it is. Sharing your experiences makes others stop and think about the devastating effects of a road crash, and helps spread vital messages about staying safe on roads. People interested can contact Caroline on 021 407 953 or email brakecharity@gmail.com
