In the charity's own words
For over 3 decades the Grand Prix Trust has provided support for Formula 1's unsung heroes helping team personnel to put their lives back on track when things go wrong. Our mission now is to broaden this support to the wider motorsport family and consider all the current and former employees, along with their immediate families, of the businesses that supply and work alongside the F1 industry.
