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. 💜

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.
