This year marks 20 years since 4WardEverUK was launched on 1 June 2006 by Tippa Naphtali the cousin of Mikey Powell who died in the custody of West Midlands police, Birmingham UK, in September 2003.
4WardEverUK is dedicated to the memory of Mikey Powell.
We continue to work with other campaigns, organisations and families across the country and abroad in giving exposure to their issues and causes.
2006 to 2026 and beyond
Over the last 20 years we have established, maintained links with, and supported numerous initiatives and campaigns both in the United Kingdom and abroad, held or co-produced many events, influenced local regional and national reforms; and been actively engaged in developing and overseeing community programmes on the ground working with statutory and charitable organisations.
To mark its 20th anniversary 4WardEverUK will be working collaboratively with the National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund and others.
"Onward in 2026 and beyond"
