Fundraising
The Team Townend Challenge, our friends and family have been supporting RoadPeace, the national charity for road crash victims in the UK, since 2011. Together, we have raised over £70,000.
Every single penny we have raised has been used to campaign for reform to the justice system, support victims to cope with their trauma, and to reduce road danger.

YOUR FUNDRAISING SUPPORT IS VITAL.
The money raised over the last 10 years has supported the work of RoadPeace ensuring that families can access vital support in a time of crisis.
​
Each year, approximately 30 people are killed and 350 are seriously injured on the roads in Cumbria.
If we can reach the £100,000 target, RoadPeace will use the funds to set up a dedicated support service in Cumbria. Currently there is no specialised support available for victims and their families in the county.
This service would include a regular facilitated support group, a RoadPeace Resilience Building programme and a remembrance service held on World Day of Remembrance for Crash Victims in November of each year. RoadPeace would also like to work with the local authority to develop guides to help victims families’ navigate the criminal justice system.
​
-
Every £25 raised helps RoadPeace to send out an information pack to families with guides on navigating the criminal justice system.
-
Every £100 raised helps pay for someone to attend a RoadPeace group support meeting.
-
Every £500 raised funds a place for a bereaved family member to attend the RoadPeace Resilience Building programme.
