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.

Through powerful interviews with those who have been excluded and their families, the report goes beyond statistics to reveal how exclusions affect not just pupils, but entire families and communities.

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.
