We are absolutely stunned and hugely grateful...
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.
We are a grant making charity setup to help those traumatically bereaved by the murder or manslaughter of a loved one.

Congratulations to delighted winner Michelle Hammer of Stenhousemuir and huge thanks to our amazing ticket-sellers everywhere who helped us raise a record-making amount, a superb £5464, to all who bought the tickets, and of course to TUI Holidays who generously provide this wonderful prize annually in Moira’s memory.
This is the time of year when many children are starting a new school and the expense of the necessary new uniforms puts much pressure on lots of families. This is made even harder when a family is devastated by the loss of a loved one, when jobs have been lost, health has suffered and every penny is already accounted for.
Since the murder of their dad some months ago his three children, aged 2, 6 and 10, are being brought up by their grandmother, Julie. Since money is tight, and she has no transport anyway, it is very hard for her to manage any kind of day out for them all and she worries about that.
They are now excited to know that The Moira Fund has bought annual passes for them all for their nearest fantastic theme park. There are adventures there for all ages and their gran is so delighted that "they can run free and enjoy themselves for the day". We are very pleased to help, and wish them lots of lovely days out together.
