We are pleased to announce the sixth round of National Memorial Family Fund grants which opens on 7 November 2022. We are also administering the new UFFC Legacy Fund, which is earmarked for the child dependents of custody death victims and their families.


Important: Affected families and/or campaigns will need to be registered on the NMPMFF website before applying for grants from the the general fund – various assessment partners are available to assist with applications.


This Memorial Family Fund grants round opens on Monday, 7 November 2022 and it will close on Wednesday, 7 December 2022.


The main difference in this sixth round (compared to earlier ones) is that grants will not generally be awarded/issued on a rolling basis, but rather final decisions will be made after the closing date on 7 December 2022.


The exception to the above will be if it is confirmed by an Assessment Partner that the need is significantly urgent, or if a Crisis Fund is deemed to be more appropriate.


Sixth Round Family Fund Small Grants Allocation:


The NMPMFF have set aside £3,400.00 to be distributed to applicants that meet the criteria for grants. However, where deemed appropriate, some applicants may be advised to apply for the fast-track support via the Crisis Family Fund for emergency needs.
