The charity set up in memory of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler is to close, and
will hand over the £800,000 it has raised to The Suzy Lamplugh Trust.
The charity,
set up by Milly’s parents, was only ever intended to run for three years. It focused
on promoting awareness of personal safety among children and young adults, and worked
closely with the Suzy Lamplugh Trust which also works in the personal safety field.

Fundraising events and government funding helped the fund with projects such as 
the “Watch Over Me” video sent to every secondary school in the UK and the Teach
UR Mum 2 Txt campaign which won first prize at the 3GSM Global Awards Ceremony in
Cannes, France.
