The Sophie Lancaster Foundation

I recently discovered this charity and for some reason it has really spoken to me.

The aims and objectives of the Charity are as follows:

• To create a lasting legacy to Sophie.
• To provide educational group-works that will challenge the prejudice and intolerance towards people from alternative subcultures.
• To campaign to have the UK Hate Crime legislation extended to include people from “alternative subcultures” or “Lifestyle and Dress”

To bully, mock, laugh at or pick on someone because they are different is not right. Sophie was killed for being "different". People need to understand that everyone is different and special in their own right. What happened to Sophie is despicable and I hope that we all learn a very important lesson out of her tragic death.
