Stephen Lawrence Foundation

We know that schools are all now working hard to try and assemble learning resources for their children. We have put together some simple and fun activities that require no specialist knowledge from parents or young people, but that provide a great way for them to get involved in Stephen Lawrence Day whilst they learn. These are all free on-line at https://www.stephenlawrence.org.uk/stephen-lawrence-day/home-activities/.

If schools are looking for something more detailed, our extensive free resources for teachers are also still available on-line at https://www.stephenlawrence.org.uk/stephen-lawrence-day/resources/
