The Family Fund is facing significant challenges in the year ahead!

Over the last 2+ years the NMPMFF has lost approximately 116 of our regular monthly donors leaving just 63 at present. More recently we saw the end of core grant funding for our two critical  frontline staff.


For the ongoing development of the NMPMFF it is critical that we maintain a level of donations and funding to allow our current structures to grow further, which in turn will aid the continued delivery of our important work and mission.


In 2024 we had to review our grant making systems to ensure that our increasingly limited financial resources were best utilised given the fall in donations, and ending of core grants.

About The Fund


"The NMPMFF is the first (and only) permanent national resource of its kind specifically established for those affected by deaths and killings in custody or state neglect. We make small grants available for families and their campaign groups across the UK to provide practical domestic assistance and campaign support. We are also developing a range of other support services for families, children and young people that are affected."
