Plans for the future!

Annual Gala Dinner & Awards

"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.


1st Awards Event Report >


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.

The Crisis Family Support Fund

In cases of urgent need our Crisis Family Fund will generally be available during periods when the Family Support Fund rounds are closed.

Two-Way Give-Back Shop

We block-purchase services or products and offer them to affected families at heavy discounts. When families use/order services or products on offer, the vendors simply give a little back.

The Family Support Fund

Funds are periodically awarded for a range of things including contributions to funerals or memorial events and/or structures, printing, short holidays and family respite breaks and more.

Shop & Support

You can easily help raise money for the Fund simply by doing something that we all do on a regular basis… Our shopping for food, clothing, household items, holidays, travel and entertainment.

The UFFC Legacy Fund Scheme

We occasionally manage small grants on behalf of the United Families & Friends Campaign (UFFC) such as their Gift Fund or campaigning projects funding programmes.
