INQUEST is proud to be a partner of the National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund. The fund will to be the first permanent national resource for those affected by deaths in custody, making small grants available to 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 will make a real difference for families and their campaign groups that need financial support during their struggles for justice. These struggles are often long and place significant personal and financial burden on bereaved people, who are working to make safer systems for all of us. Find out more about the fund and how to set up a regular donation on the official website.

I have always been committed to developing practical solutions to social hardship and injustice, and I see the National Family Fund as such. This fund forms part of the lasting legacy to my cousin, Mikey Powell, who died in police custody in September 2003.
