About The Awards:

The NMPMFF Gala Dinner & Campaigners Awards was first conceived in 2021, with its hugely successful inaugural event held in November 2023.

Sponsoring tables:

We would be grateful if you, your company, organisation or enterprise would consider sponsoring a table at our upcoming 2nd Gala Dinner and Campaigners Awards event.

Full Table x10 seats = £655.00 (5 seats allocated FREE to affected families)

Half Table x5 seats = £327.50 (2 seats allocated FREE to affected families)

All sales include an additional small booking fee

Sponsor will be recognised in the event programme and post-event articles.

Your sponsorship will ensure that families affected by deaths in state institutions can book FREE tickets to attend this event, and assist with event costs as well as raising funds for our family support grant programmes.

If sponsors wish to do so, they can give up further seats from those allocated to them (or whole tables) for affected families. Just let us know after you book.

These awards recognise the efforts of grassroots individuals, groups and organisations that have developed or led on initiatives supporting those that have been affected by state custody deaths and killings or injustices and that have also demonstrated a significant commitment to making societal change and raising public awareness.

The 2026 award event is part-funded by the National Lottery Awards for All, and is also supported by 4WardEverUK, The People's Tribunal on Police Killings, Catalyst 4 Change CIC and Naphtali & Associates, and others to be announced.
