Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation

🎥✨ Kicking Off the HOPE Initiative! Orientation Day marked the official start of an incredible journey for our inaugural HOPE Initiative mentees and mentors! 🌟 All mentors and mentees were able to attend their first group session, it was an inspiring day of connections, learning, and new beginnings. A huge thank you to the teachers who took the time to refer these talented young people, and to our incredible partners 7PK - Social Mobility and EDI and Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity for making this programme possible. Together, we are opening pathways to equity in healthcare! We loved getting to know the young people and their families and are excited to move into the next phase of the HOPE Initiative. We truly believe they are the future of medicine but more importantly tangible change within the healthcare sector in the UK! 🩺 🧡 #HOPEInitiative #FutureOfMedicine #HealthcareEquity #SLD25 #knowledgechangeseverything #StephenLawrenceDay

Knowledge changes everything. Do something today that will improve you. Sharky drops a powerful message in his chat with @doseofsociety—growth isn’t about getting it right every time, it’s about showing up, learning, and pushing forward. Failure isn’t the end, it’s part of the journey. Keep improving, embrace the lessons, and never let regrets hold you back. Whatever obstacles come your way, keep pushing forward, keep learning, and keep leveling up—we’re rooting for you! 💪🏽🧡 💬 Drop a comment and share your thoughts! 🎥: Dose of Society #SLD25 #KnowledgeChangesEverything #KeepImproving #GrowthMindset #BlackBritish #StephenLawrence

📖✨ Knowledge is power, and history is our foundation. We must never reduce or rewrite the past to fit a simpler narrative. Every lesson, every struggle, and every triumph shapes the world we live in today. 🌍 Education isn’t just about the future—it’s about understanding where we come from, honouring those who paved the way, and ensuring that truth is never erased. Let’s keep learning, questioning, and passing on the full story. #KnowledgeIsPower #HistoryMatters #KnowledgeChangesEverything #StephenLawrenceDay

Education isn’t just about learning facts—it’s about transforming lives. The more we know, the more we can challenge injustice, create opportunities, and build a fairer future for all. 💡 At the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation, we believe in the power of knowledge to inspire change. By supporting young people with the right resources, mentorship, and opportunities, we help them unlock their full potential. But we can’t do it alone. 📢 Donate today and be a part of the change. Your support fuels scholarships, mentorships, and programmes that empower the next generation to do better, dream bigger, and lead boldly. 🔗 stephenlawrenceday.org #KnowledgeChangesEverything #WhenWeKnowBetter #EducationForChange #StephenLawrenceDay #sld25 #StephenLawrence #scholarships #blackbritish

An important conversation we all need to have… Actor Sterling Brown breaks down the stark differences in how ‘bad behaviour’ is perceived—and punished—based on race. These conversations aren’t just necessary—they’re urgent. We need to address the systemic biases that shape outcomes from childhood to adulthood. What are your thoughts on this? Have you witnessed or experienced this double standard?
