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 / statutory neglect.

We make small grants available for families and their campaign groups across the UK to provide practical domestic assistance and campaign support. We also run (or are developing) a range of other support services for families, children and young people that are affected.

John Burke-Monverville, Father (Monerville brothers)

Anna Susianta, Mother of Jack Susianta

Donna Mooney, Sister of Tommy Nicol

"To all that made it possible for the donation that I received from the Family Fund - thank you. It has been put to good use. I badly needed new memorial garden fencing before the winter arrived. it's now been delivered and put in place"

Jan Butler, Mother of Lloyd Butler

Button
"Thanks to the Family Fund for its financial support at such a difficult time. Funds went towards buying much-needed carpets - campaigning for so long, I neglected my home. I also received a grant towards my book on Christopher's case"

Janet Alder, sister of Christopher Alder

Button
"The grant helped to pay bills that I'd fallen behind with due to the death of my son, and not being able to work. The grant was extremely useful and enabled my family breathing space and not having the debt distraction. We are very grateful"
