About Unity A Concert For Stephen Lawrence
"I would like Stephen to be remembered as a young man who had a future. He was well loved, and had he been given the chance to survive maybe he would have been the one to bridge the gap between black and white because he didn't distinguish between black or white. He saw people as people” Doreen Lawrence

MORE SPECIAL GUESTS TO BE ANNOUNCED IN THE COMING WEEKS
Music's biggest names unite for a special concert championing youth and social empowerment
Concert to raise funds for The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust, which helps to develop brighter futures for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds
Music is a common language that has the power to unite communities and bring people from all backgrounds together. Today, some of the biggest names in music announce they are joining forces to stage Unity - A Concert for Stephen Lawrence at the O2 Arena this autumn.
This event sees UK artists and the music industry working together to create a one-off concert and raise awareness and money for the Stephen Lawrence Trust, further providing opportunities for those disadvantaged by their colour, their postcode, their ethnicity or their poverty - across the UK. All the artists will perform tracks specially chosen for their social message.
Through the work of Stephen's mother, Doreen Lawrence and the Stephen Lawrence Trust, Britain is changing but there is still much more to be done. The SL20 campaign, set up by the Trust to mark this important anniversary, aims to highlight Stephen's legacy and the vital work undertaken by the charity in his name.
