The NMPMFF needs to replenish its grant fund resources for affected families!


Over the last 2+ years the National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund (NMPMFF) has lost 80+ (60%) of our regular monthly donors, and our grant and reserves are very low.


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


See details of how you can support us here:

MemberBASE Subscriptions - www.memorialfamilyfund.org.uk/donor-members

PayPal One-Off Donations - www.memorialfamilyfund.org.uk/donations-paypal


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.
