Below are some of our main initiatives:

The Mentoring & Advocacy Support Hub (M.A.S.H), previously known as the Peer Support Programme, was initially developed as part of the MIND / Time to Change 300 Voices Project to support young African and Caribbean men with lived experience of mental health problems in Birmingham to build resilience and confidence to aid recovery. It is now being redeveloped with Catalyst 4 Change CIC.

National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund

Founded in 2015, the Memorial Family Fund is the first permanent national resource of its kind specifically for those that are affected by deaths in custody. They make small grants available for families and their campaign groups across the United Kingdom to provide practical domestic assistance, to further the work of their own campaigns or to assist them in engaging in a range of other local, regional or national campaigns, events and initiatives.

RedAlert HELP! (under development)
www.redalerthelp.org

First conceived in 2014, RedAlert HELP! is now under development by 4WardEverUK and Catalyst 4 Change. The initiative already provides an online DIY support hub, and has aspirations to also provide advocacy support and a 24Hr telephone and text advice service for families affected by deaths or abuses in custody, or concerned about vulnerable relatives or friends detained in custody.

The Peoples Tribunal on Police Killings

The People’s Tribunal is designed to take forward the heritage of families struggle in a way that radically challenges the status quo. They are particularly concerned that the crimes of murder and manslaughter committed by state agents have gone unpunished over many decades.
