Founder, Tippa Naphtali
(cousin of Mikey Powell)
said; "The needs of affected families often gets lost in the equally important work of campaigning and lobbying of the state.We want to change that with a permanent fund set up specifically for their needs."
The National Memorial Family Fund is the first permanent national resource of its kind specifically for those affected by deaths and killings in custody or state neglect, making small grants available for families and their campaign groups across the UK to provide practical domestic assistance, to further the work of their own campaigns or to assist them in engaging in other local, regional or national campaigns, events and initiatives.
This Fund is already making a real difference for families their campaign groups that need financial support during the often long struggles for justice often lasting for decades.
