Knowledge is power. When we share it, we spark change. Join the movement. Share the message.
Stephen Lawrence Day 2025 is about harnessing the power of knowledge to inspire lasting change.
This year, we focus on equipping the next generation with the tools, confidence, and understanding they need to shape a fairer, more inclusive society.
Because knowledge doesn’t just inform—it empowers. It uplifts. It transforms.
Because #KnowledgeChangesEverything.
I support the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation because I believe in the power of education, opportunity and community to change lives. By investing in young people, we’re building a fairer, more inclusive future — one where every young person can thrive.🧡 If you believe that #KnowledgeChangesEverything, join me and donate today.

Stephen Lawrence Day takes place on April 22nd every year, on the anniversary of Stephen’s death. A national moment of reflection and a call to action. Each year, we honour Stephen’s life by inspiring individuals, schools, and communities to drive change. Stephen Lawrence Day is more than remembrance, it’s a day to celebrate progress, challenge injustice, and empower young people to imagine their futures. We provide schools, workplaces, and individuals with resources and inspiration to participate meaningfully.
