💭 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.

"My teachers limited Black people in the 80s, predicting I’d end up in prison."
-Garry Green KC
Today, he’s a leading King’s Counsel and a powerful example of what happens when young people rise beyond the limits placed on them.
His journey is a reminder of why we must continue to provide mentorship, inspiration and real career opportunities to the next generation, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds.
Every young person deserves to be seen for their potential, not their postcode.

We had the pleasure of joining @brooksixthformandacademy as they celebrated the students who had taken part in their SLD25 tower modelling competition, honouring Stephen’s dream of becoming an architect.
The assembly we attended was a certificate ceremony where students shared such powerful, thoughtful reflections about Stephen, his life, and his legacy.
It was truly inspiring to see how these young minds connected with Stephen’s story. His legacy continues to spark creativity, reflection, and hope in the next generation.
In honour of #SLD25 the academy celebrated marked the occasion as part of their Cultural day, with each student and teacher wearing their clothes of heritage.
