The Myra Davis Memorial Fund is a non-profit making voluntary group.
The purpose of the Fund is to collect money from individual donors and distribute it to individual refugees and asylum seekers to meet their individual needs.
These are limited to needs which are not met by statutory organisations and are outside the remit of existing charities.
Following Myra’s long and committed involvement with asylum seekers and refugees over many years, it became clear to her that there were many who desperately needed help which was not available through statutory organisations and was also outside the remit of existing charities.
It was one of her last wishes that a fund be set up in her name by some of her close friends in agreement with her family to raise money to provide such help.
It was also her wish that, where appropriate, the help should be kept confidential to protect the identity of the asylum seekers and refugees who received it
