"We plan what we do, and do what we say"

We plan to work with a range of other campaign and civil rights groups, individuals, charities and companies to host the Annual Activists Awards.

The Summary

Its principle aim is to recognise those affected families and individuals that have influenced structural change. Its secondary purpose is

to both raise the profile of, and resources

for the Memorial Family Fund.

At the heart of this effort was a small team of three sessional staff (under the direction and support of the Development & Fundraising

Co-ordinator) with responsibilities for particular areas of outreach and practical support towards this aim.

Please Help: 'The needs of affected families and children often get lost in the equally important work of campaigning and lobbying of state institutions. We want to change that with a permanent national fund set up specifically for their needs'

The Story So Far

Following a significant 2-year donation commitment from the charity INQUEST, the initial plan was to hold two events, one in 2022 and the second the following year.

But in order to ensure that the planning, marketing and delivery of this initiative were well thought-out and executed; we had agreed to take the 'long haul' route.

The NMPMFF unanimously agreed to holding the inaugural event in late 2023, also coinciding with the 40th birthday of the charity INQUEST, and the 20th year since the killing of Mikey Powell in police custody.

Bespoke and unique!

The National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund is the first permanent nationwide resource of its kind for those affected by deaths in custody, making small grants available for families and their campaign groups across the Unitrd Kingdom.

This Fund is making a real difference for families and their campaign groups that need financial support during the often long struggles for justice lasting for decades in many cases.
