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 respite
  • Extra help with funerals
  • Specific transport costs
  • Access to counselling
  • Needs which may arise and for which there is no current provision
