We are extremely pleased to announce (following Round 1 Grants), the second round of National Memorial Family Fund grants opening 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 partners are available to assist families with applications.
The second Family Fund round opens on 7 December 2020 and closes 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.
Listen to Tippa Naphtali (joined by Ken Fero & Michelle Kelly)
Unity FM 93.5 FM (www.unityfm.net) 'What Shape Are You In' programme aired on 28 October 2020, talking about the National Memorial Family Fund, the Ultraviolence film, and counselling/wellbeing services.
Second Round Family Fund Allocation:
The NMPMFF have set aside up to £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 request 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.
This fund will make a £50
Christmas payment to any affected child
whose parent or carer was a victim of state custody death. The funds must be used for the direct benefit or enjoyment of that child
over the Christmas& New Year period.
Families can apply to the Children's Christmas Gift Fund immediately.
The only conditions that apply are that:
- The child must be under 16 years of age
- A parent or carer of the child died in state custody
- Families that received Family Fund or Gift Fund awards in round one (ended in Sept 2020) are not generally eligible for this scheme
- Interested families should complete the expression of interest form (click here)
What Family Fund applicants need to do?
It is very important that applicants follow the advice provided
in the Family Fund Quick Guide, to ensure that they are both eligible and ready
to complete an application:

In a response to the latest inspection of Brixton Prison, prison reform charity the Howard League have criticised the prison for locking men up "for hours on end’ in ‘dirty overcrowded cells’.
Justice secretary Shabana Mahmood has set out major plans to slash the number of women going to jail and ultimately close women’s prisons amid an overcrowding crisis.
All the performers at this community event will be young people from Birmingham who want to show their appreciation of Dr Benjamin Zephaniah through music and dance.
Over the last 2+ years the National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund (NMPMFF) has lost 80+ (60%) of regular monthly donors, and our grant and reserves are almost depleted.
We are proud to present our second annual report of activities in 2022 and 2023. The 7 September 2023 marked 8 years since the National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund was founded.
Mikey’s cousin and prominent activist and social justice campaigner, Tippa Naphtali, previously wrote the following moving article to commemorate the 15th anniversary of his death.
