Round 4 award applications closed on 7 March 2025!
With thanks to a previous donation of £10,000 through Migrant Media / the Legacy Fund, the National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund is poised to launch the 4th round of Holiday Scheme awards, supporting children, young people and families.
Families and campaigns will be able to apply to a designated fund which will:
- Award fixed-amount grants for group outings/holidays and short breaks
- Consider group applications made up of minimum pre-set number of adults and children/young people
- Ensure applicant groups are not all from a single family/campaign
- Encourage participation jointly with other families/campaigns in their region
- Include NMPMFF Assessment Partners as eligible applicants
The fourth awards round has ringfenced a maximum of £3,500 consisting of average awards of up to £400 and one gold award of up to £1,000 towards the full cost of recreational events that meet a standard set of requirements.
When will this grant round take place?
This round will open on 20 February and close on 7 March 2025.

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!
Working closely with Family Contact Groups throughout the country, the NMPMFF would consider applications for a range of social activities that are requested, designed and delivered by the applicants in UK-wide localities.
We look forward to hearing from you!
