The coalition group of family members who have lost loved ones in state custody, formed in 1997, is so far the largest recipient of Black Lives Matter UK’s initial round of funding. Black Lives Matter UK announced last month its plan to release more than £100,000 to black-led organisations across the country. The campaign group received £1.2m in donations via a GoFundMe appeal, following widespread protests last summer.

Updated 18/02/2021 08:21 GMT Revealed: Who Will Get First Black Lives Matter UK Grants After £1m Fundraiser Exclusive: The anti-racism collective names the first 14 groups receiving funding and addresses concerns around transparency. Black Lives Matter UK has given the first grants from its £1.2million fundraiser to 14 Black-interest groups, HuffPost UK can reveal. The anti-racism collective received more than 36,000 donations amid the global protests in the wake of George Floyd’s murder last year. The initial grants total £170,000 and a second round later this year will see that rise to £600,000 – half of the money received. The remaining £600,000 will be spent on “building an anti-racist organisation that can scale up its existing community organising, educational work and direct actions”.
