At the SLDF, we deeply appreciate the remarkable work undertaken by our sister organisation, the Stephen Lawrence Research Centre (SLRC). Their unwavering dedication to honouring Stephen’s legacy and driving positive change resonates deeply with our mission and values.
Nestled within the halls of De Montfort University (DMU), the SLRC stands as a testament to Stephen’s enduring legacy. As guardians of the Stephen Lawrence Archive, the SLRC serves as a beacon of awareness and empowerment, preserving the memory of Stephen’s life while championing his quest for justice and equality.
We would like to acknowledge, and we admire the tireless efforts of the SLRC team in maintaining and protecting Stephen’s legacy. Their commitment to fostering positive change extends far beyond the confines of academia, touching the lives of young people nationwide.
We recognise the SLRC as a formidable ally in our shared mission to empower young minds and create a more inclusive society. We would like to celebrate the invaluable contributions of the SLRC in honouring Stephen’s memory and inspiring future generations to uphold his vision of a world filled with justice, equality, and opportunity.
