Today is National Stephen Lawrence Day. 

Stephen Lawrence Day is about creating a legacy for change and the part we all play in creating a society in which everyone can flourish.  TG Consulting is aligned to the mission of the Stephen Lawrence charitable trust, and we too want young people to be inspired about what they can achieve in their own lives.

We want them to get involved in creating the kind of community they want to live in and we want them to have a strong voice in building a fairer and more inclusive society.  Today TG Consulting and The Student Sessions will be supporting this great cause across all of our socials.   

It is an opportunity for children and young people to have their voices heard, make the changes they’d like to see and create a society that treats everyone with fairness and respect. Find out more at   https://stephenlawrenceday.org/
