Brake exists for a simple reason - because every 30 seconds someone, somewhere in the world, is killed in a road crash. Road deaths and injuries, the misery they cause, and the pollution of our planet by vehicles, are a shameful catastrophe that must end.

We believe in action by individuals, communities, companies and governments to stop the carnage. We provide the information and initiatives necessary to help people do just that.

We believe people whose lives have been devastated by a death or serious injury on the road are the forgotten victims, and need expert and sensitive support to give them the best chance of recovery. We provide this support.

Brake is an independent international charity, funded by donations from individuals, companies, and grant givers.
