Plans for the future!

Year-Round Holiday Schemes

"We plan what we do, and do what we say"

We plan to broker and provide frequent respite breaks, group leisure outings and short UK-based holidays for affected families. (See Phase2 here)
The Summary

We aspire to provide respite breaks, group outings and short UK-based holidays for families affected by custody deaths. These will include river & coach tours, activity & theme parks and self-catering breaks in some of the UK's areas of outstanding beauty.


We will work with a range of providers to secure discounted and value-for-money excursion and holiday/outing packages that can maximise our limited resources.


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

Until the launch of the holiday scheme, families can apply for contributions to their own short holidays and family respite breaks through our general grants programme. 


Grants will typically be between £50 to a maximum of £250 (more may be awarded at our discretion dependent upon the needs identified at the time of application).

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.

Family Fund Pin Badges

When you purchase your badge all the proceeds of sale will go to the National Memorial Family Fund to support families that have been affected by custody deaths in the United Kingdom. 

Bespoke and unique!

The National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund is the first permanent nationwide resource of its kind for those affected by deaths in custody, making small grants available for families and their campaign groups across the Unitrd Kingdom.

This Fund is making a real difference for families and their campaign groups that need financial support during the often long struggles for justice lasting for decades in many cases.
