The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust was the original charity set up in Stephen’s name. The Lawrence family are no longer associated with this organisation. Doreen Lawrence & family have set up a new foundation.

. I am reassured race played no part in their response to the Grenfell Tower fire. Learning about the conditions firefighters faced that night has been insightful, apologies for any upset caused. I'm confident how valued equality is to LFB & FBU
