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 frequently read and hear of murder cases in the news but it is rare for us to read of the plight of those left behind, those whose lives are changed forever by the violent death of a loved one, those who will also lose jobs, earnings, friends, health, and be unable to function as they once did, and have needs which will not be addressed.
We are a grant making charity setup to help those traumatically bereaved by the murder or manslaughter of a loved one.

When 88-year old widow, M... lost her daughter to violence, she asked for little. She wanted a little cherry tree in her daughter's name, one which all her family and grandchildren could visit, one which she could tend and watch flower and grow from her window. That wish was soon granted.
Soon after the devastating death of his son, G and his partner, the stepmum, separated and G moved into an empty flat. He was sleeping on the floor and struggling to cope.. We were pleased we could provide a bed and bedding to help him on his with his very difficult journey.
