Tippa Naphtali, founder of the NMPMFF said;
"The ongoing pain of affected families often gets lost in the equally important work of
campaigning and lobbying of the state. We are extremely grateful for the support of the
UFFC Legacy Fund which will help us deliver one of our key aspirational initiatives"
The Holiday Scheme Initiative summarised
From the Spring of 2023 the NMPMFF committed to provide contributions towards respite breaks, group outings and short UK-based holidays tailored for children, young people and families affected by custody deaths and killings. These would include river and coach tours, activity and theme parks, and self-catering breaks and more!
This particular funding programme will be available as long as resources remain.
