Over the last 22+ months the National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund (NMPMFF) has lost 80+ (49%) of our regular monthly donors! Therefore the general grants programme had to be suspended until November 2022. Can you help?


The National Memorial Family Fund is the first permanent national resource of its kind specifically for those that are affected by deaths and killings in state custody.


Visit the ‘MemberBASE’ platform for more details here: www.memorialfamilyfund.org.uk/donor-members


The Fund makes small grants available for families and their campaign groups across the United Kingdom to provide practical domestic assistance, to further the work of their own campaigns or to assist them in engaging in a range of other local, regional or national campaigns, events and initiatives.

Campaigning news collective, 4WardEverUK, launched the new National Memorial Family Fund website in April 2019 to raise both awareness and funds for the initiative inspired by Mikey Powell, who was killed in police custody on 7th September 2003.
