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.
