Since its formation in 1932 GEM has had ‘Road Safety’ as its principle aim. Both through its own initiatives and those supported by the GEM Motoring Assist Road Safety Charity, a vast number of safety schemes have been implemented.
History
GEM has been supporting Road Safety initiatives since it was founded in 1932. In 1985, it was felt that this support could be better achieved by the establishment of a registered Road Safety Charity, which although administered and supported by GEM, would be independent from the other aspects of GEM’s work.
Since then, the GEM Road Safety Charity has provided financial support for a huge number of schemes throughout the UK. The charity has a board of registered trustees that receive requests for assistance and, following recommendations from the Guild’s Executive Council allocates financial assistance to schemes it feels are worthwhile in Road Safety terms.

Aims and objectives of the GEM Road Safety charity
The Guild was founded in 1932 under the original name The Company of Veteran Motorists and immediately supported road safety initiatives, both from within its own organisation and from other agencies.
In 1985 it was felt that this support could be better achieved by the establishment of a registered road safety charity, which although administered and supported by GEM, would be independent from the other aspects of the Guild’s work.
Since 1985 the GEM Road Safety Charity has provided financial support for a huge number of schemes throughout the UK.
The charity has a board of registered trustees that receive requests for assistance and following recommendations from the Guild’s Executive Council, allocates financial assistance to schemes it feels are worthwhile and effective in road safety terms. The trustees also take into consideration the availability of the other funds open to applicants.
