For over 30 years, the Road Victims Trust has been the UK’s only charity providing free, long‑term specialist emotional and practical support to people bereaved or seriously injured due to road collisions within Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
As a local charity, we rely on support from partnership organisations and fundraising events, such as this comedy night, which are essential to ensure we can continue to deliver our unique services. Thank you for supporting this event.
