The Moira Fund

  • The Moira Fund, a grant making charity, 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.
  • Now fully established, The Moira Fund makes grants to individuals bereaved through violent death, which includes 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.
