About Sophie Lancaster Foundation:
Stamp Out Prejudice, Hatred And Intolerance Everywhere
Sophie was kicked to death for looking different. She and her boyfriend were creative, artistic people who dressed in their own unique way. They were attacked by a gang of five boys in a park in Bacup, Lancashire on 11 August 2007. The gang attacked Sophie’s boyfriend first and then turned on her, carrying out a brutal and sustained attack. Sophie remained in hospital for 13 days, before following medical advice, the family agreed to life support being switched off. Sophie died on 24 August 2007; she was just 20 years. old. The Sophie Lancaster Foundation is a charity which provides educational groupworks that will challenge the prejudice and intolerance towards people from alternative subcultures. They campaign to have the UK Hate Crime legislation extended to include people from alternative subcultures.
