Tippa Naphtali (cousin of Mikey Powell) said;

"The Fund is making a real difference for families and their campaign groups that need financial support during the long and drawn out struggles for the justice of their loved ones, that can last for decades"
 
'The needs of affected families and children often get lost in the equally important work of campaigning and lobbying of state institutions. We are changing that with a permanent national fund set up specifically to meet their unique needs'
