When we judge young people by how they look, we miss who they really are. Let’s challenge the stereotypes that harm and build empathy instead. #WeAreSophie #AllDifferentAllBelong
Each year on 27th January, we mark Holocaust Memorial Day, the international day of remembrance that honours the lives lost in the Holocaust and challenges hatred in the present. The date was chosen to coincide with the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
It has come to our attention that some websites have been selling our merchandise without our permission, claiming that it’s official and that the money raised comes directly to us. Unfortunately, this isn’t true
We were proud to join Leeds City Council’s Hate Crime Awareness Week. Our CEO Alison shared Sophie’s story, the impact of hate crime, and our ACT project with reps from the NHS, council and third sector. 💜 Want us to deliver a session for your organisation? Get in touch! #HCAW
We are saddened and overwhelmed at the horror of the violent attack on the Heaton Park Synagogue. No one should be targeted for their identity or the community they belong to. We stand against all forms of hate and continue to advocate for a society where everyone can live without fear of prejudice
It’s 18 years ago today that the attack took place in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, that took Sophie’s life 13 days later. We send love to Sophie’s family and friends and all that love her. Sophie is not just a figurehead or a banner we march behind; she was a person who should be here with us today.

On 22 April 1993, Stephen Lawrence was murdered in a racially motivated attack. Our thoughts today are with Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Dr Neville Lawrence and all of Stephen’s family and friends.
Remembering Sylvia Lancaster who passed away 3 years ago today. She used her voice to challenge the status quo and demand justice for alternative people. We continue her legacy. Rest in peace Sylvia. 🖤 #SophieLancasterFoundation
