Mrs Broadley’s choice is part of trilogy; showing the realities of relationships between people..
Justice for Stephen is about all of us, every one of us, in society having justice.
There are still too many young people who do not have a sense of hope, who just don’t get the chance to live their dreams. I want all our children and young people to feel inspired, be confident and have hope in their own future.
We are building hope but there is more to do

The pandemic has shown us why our local communities are so important and how we can pull together to create real, meaningful change.
Stephen Lawrence Day is about the part we all play in creating a society in which everyone can flourish. It is an opportunity for children and young people to have their voices heard, make the changes they’d like to see and create a society that treats everyone with fairness and respect.
Through Stephen Lawrence Day we want young people to be inspired about what they can achieve in their own lives whether in the their classroom, their community or a career. We want them to get involved in creating the kind of community they want to live in and we want them to have a strong voice in building a fairer and more inclusive society.
