We are extremely pleased to announce (following Round 1 Grants), the second round of National Memorial Family Fund grants opened on 7 December 2020 (We are also administering the UFFC Children’s Christmas Gift Fund) which families can also apply to.

Important: Affected families and/or campaigns will need to be registered on the NMPMFF website before applying for grants from the fund – various assessment partners are available to assist with applications.

The second Memorial Family Fund round officially opened on 7 December 2020 and will close on 7 February 2021.

The main difference in this second round (compared to round one) is that grants will not be awarded/issued on a rolling basis, but rather final decisions will be made after the closing date on 7 February 2021.

The exception to the above will be if it is confirmed by an Assessment Partner that the need is significantly urgent.

Second Round Family Fund Allocation:

The NMPMFF have set aside £10,000 to be distributed to applicants that meet the criteria for grants. However, in addition to the current conditions of grant, affected families can also apply for general cash support if they have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This will be considered even if those families do not have an active campaign which is ongoing!


UFFC Children’s Christmas Gift Fund:

We are also administering the United Families & Friends Campaigns Children’s Christmas Gift Fund. UFFC have set aside up to £2,800 to be distributed to applicants that meet the criteria.

Families can apply to the Children’s Christmas Gift Fund immediately.
