Christopher Moyes Memorial Foundation 

The Christopher Moyes Memorial Foundation, was established by Jan Moyes, Chris' widow, to commemorate Christopher Moyes, a leading Durham businessman and former chairman of the council of Durham University who died in 2006. 

The Foundation aims to celebrate Chris’s memory by providing funding for projects that reflect Chris’s beliefs and long-standing commitment to County Durham, Durham University and in particular the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience.
