Welcome to The Moira Fund

The Moira Fund has been established in memory of Moira Jones, who was murdered in Queens Park, Glasgow, in May 2008.

Following her death, family, friends and colleagues of Moira wished to establish a fund in her memory that would support others who found themselves bereaved through violent death at the hands of another.

Once fully established, The Moira Fund will make grants to individuals bereaved through violent death, which will include supporting:

• Access to specialist bereavement counselling;
• Access to respite and/or retreat;
• Participation in a support network for individuals whose lives have been affected through murder or manslaughter.

The Moira Fund is a registered charity in England and Wales (No. 1129693).

The Moira Fund is a registered charity in Scotland (No.SC041077).

We are all thrilled that Angela Rippon has also agreed to be Patron of the Moira Fund.

"Hu and Beatrice Jones are two very special people. It takes great courage and a deep reservoir of humanity to be able to turn a personal tragedy into a mission to help and support others. The death of their daughter Moira was devastating. But through The Moira Fund they hope to bring genuine support and comfort to other bereaved families. It is a great privilege for me to be Patron of their charity and to know that the spirit of Moira Jones will live on through the goodness and love of her parents."

“I am very touched that Moira’s family would consider me as someone they think could help this worthwhile cause. For too long the families of those who have been murdered have had few places to turn. I know that through the hard work of Moira’s family and this Fund that those going through the worst of times will find some respite and comfort.” Elaine C Smith
