The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust was set up in 1998 by Stephen’s mother, Doreen Lawrence, Baroness Lawrence of Clarendon OBE. She wanted to ensure that future generations of young people would enjoy the opportunities that were denied to Stephen by his senseless murder.
Since then we have had a significant impact on criminal justice and social policy. And we have had a lasting impact on the lives and life chances of the individual young people we have worked with.
We will continue to be a fitting legacy to Stephen’s memory and our current objectives are:
To support aspiring architects and young people wishing to pursue careers in wider professions by providing a programme of bursaries and access to housing and architectural work opportunity
Seek funding to enable the continuation of our Community Programme with a particular emphasis on offering programmes for 16-24 year olds as well as the wider community
Develop our Access to Professions Programme
To establish our Social Enterprise – Stephen Lawrence Consulting
To determine the Strategy in respect of Stephen Lawrence Education Standard
To maximise the use of the Stephen Lawrence Centre
To continue and grow our Voice of Transformation work (to campaign for fairness and justice by leading debate and influencing decision makers)
