RoSPA's mission is to save lives and reduce injuries

Donate to RoSPA

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents was established more than 90 years ago and is a registered charity (Registered Charity No: 207823) whose patron is Her Majesty the Queen.

Our aim is to campaign for change, influence opinion, contribute to debate, educate and inform - for the good of all.

By providing information, advice, resources and training, RoSPA is actively involved in the promotion of safety and the prevention of accidents in all areas of life - at work, in the home, on the roads, in schools, at leisure and on (or near) water.

Our campaigns

Young Driver Campaign

One current RoSPA campaign is to save thousands of youngsters from horrific injuries and death on the roads and seeks to reduce the number of accidents caused by young drivers. Read more about the problem.

Last year our key campaign was to save vulnerable children and older people from the dreadful burns that scalding water can inflict. Read more about this issue.

Sponsorship of RoSPA

Sponsor RoSPA

RoSPA is also looking for new sponsors, in particular for its huge range of events - but also to be part of the new online affiliated links scheme.

Like all charities, RoSPA’s work benefits greatly from the support of the general public. RoSPA’s dedication to its work in UK and European Government and in local community has been a primary influence in enhancing safety for all over the last 90 years.
