4WardEver assisted in establishing ‘UFFC Campaign Central’ a dedicated social network site focusing on getting families, friends and their supporters effectively informed and connected. The website has been funded and developed by 4WardEver UK & First Stop Web Design. 

UFFC seeks to grow this network to help in bridging the voids that exist in family-led national organising and campaigns.

The website also serves as a stand-alone information & resource centre for anyone interested in the issues raised. The site is free to join. Membership is strictly moderated.

Permanently sponsored by 4WardEver UK & First Stop Web Design.

History of UFFC:

In a church in Piccadilly last week, a small group of families and friends of those who have died in police custody gathered at a press conference, supported by the Bishop of Southwark, to speak about their experiences and to launch a new leaflet for the United Families and Friends Campaign.

The United Families and Friends Campaign (UFFC), a coalition of those affected by deaths in police, prison and psychiatric custody, supports others in similar situations. Established in 1997 initially as a network of Black families, over recent years the group has expanded and now includes the families and friends of White people who have also died in custody.

The network includes the families of: Leon Patterson (died in police custody in 1992), Roger Sylvester (died after being restrained by police in 1999), Rocky Bennett (died in psychiatric custody in 1998), Harry Stanley (shot dead by police officers in 1999) and Sarah Campbell (died in Styal prison in 2003) and many others.
