Young people like Abiola Abidoye remind us what brilliance, determination and resilience look like. At just 18 years old, this Ipswich student achieved the highest A-Level law grade in the UK, scoring an extraordinary 224 out of 240. On top of that, he secured A*s in maths, further maths and physics — a truly outstanding academic achievement.
Stories like Abiola’s show us the importance of creating pathways where talent and hard work can shine, regardless of background. They remind us why equity in education matters and why we must keep building opportunities for the next generation.
At the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation, we are committed to ensuring every young person has the chance to fulfil their potential, just like Abiola.
If you believe in a fairer future for young people, help us make it happen.

💭 How many Black Brits would it take to raise £1 billion? The numbers might surprise you.
This is more than a question. It’s a reminder that community is a powerful tool we’ve yet to fully unlock. Imagine the impact if we came together to invest in opportunities for young people from underrepresented backgrounds.
At the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation, we fight to close disparities in education and create pathways for the next generation to thrive.
