At Roadcraft, we’ve thought long and hard about how the community can support the movement toward safer roads. Outside of encouraging people just like you to take a Roadcraft course, and in turn change their personal road behaviours, there had to be more we could do. Turns out there was and that’s why ‘Shift’ was born.
Shift is a benevolent fund providing Roadcraft courses free of charge to disadvantaged young people, giving them life saving techniques and driving education they’d otherwise be unable to access.
We have opened up support opportunities for individuals, groups, and organisations within our community to help grant 100 young people the opportunity to complete a Learner or Provisional Driver Course in 2022.
Roadcraft has kick-started the campaign with a $10,000 donation which will be topped up by optional donations from course participants and the generosity of the broader community and corporate sponsors.
INDIVIDUALS & ROADCRAFT
Roadcraft has kick-started the fund with a $10,000 donation. Upon booking, course participants will be invited to donate $3 at checkout, matched by Roadcraft, meaning $6 will be raised per eligible booking.
THE WIDER COMMUNITY
Many community groups work alongside us to raise money to fund novice driver courses and raise awareness in youth drivers of these opportunities.
BUSINESSES & ORGANISATIONS
Sponsorship from businesses and organisations means they can give back to their community, reduce road trauma, and help young people to access life saving education and training.
Everybody benefits when more drivers on the road are educated and equipped with the techniques Roadcraft courses impart, and Shift aims to increase that number. Working with our 2022 partner, Community Action Gympie, Shift is bringing access to this driver education to those who couldn’t benefit from them otherwise. Community Action works with people experiencing challenges in their life; whether this is domestic violence, housing instability, or coping with early pregnancy and parenthood.
