The annual United Families and Friends Campaign (UFFC) held its annual march in central London on Saturday 26 October 2019. With co-ordination from Ken Fero, of Migrant Media, and other supporters they also helped the National Mikey Powell Memorial Family Fund (NMPMFF) to raise £180.00 selling promotional badges to over 60 of the people that attended the event.
