Globetruckers UK

The charity for the HGV industry and supporting services

Welcome to the Globe Truckers UK.

Our charity is built purposefully by drivers to help drivers,

Globe Truckers was initially set up in 2019 in order to help injured and disabled HGV and other professional drivers who have ultimately ended up falling by the wayside. They will have been left feeling disenfranchised, used, abandoned and kicked to the kerb left with no reconciliation whatsoever.

Unfortunately this situation is all too familiar to this charity’s founders.

We, at Globe Truckers UK personally have also struggled to access any help through no fault of our own and therefore we have experienced the feeling of the transport industry “turning its back on us” in our darkest hour, when you are actually more likely need the industries support, than you ever have before.

Truck drivers, in reality, face many added risks on top of the high risk of physical driving, including some extremely alarming correlations to numerous types of cancers and other ailments such as diabetes, strokes, heart disease, high blood pressure and deep vein thrombosis.

Moreover, in accordance to the UK’s office for national statistics an average of 1040 drivers who drive for a living are killed annually whilst carrying out there work as a professional driver.
