The Damilola Taylor Trust was established in May 2001 in memory of Damilola Taylor who was tragically killed in 2000 by an act of violence by two boys not much older than him.
The Damilola Taylor Trust is committed to providing inner-city youths with opportunities to play, learn and live their lives free of fear and violence, and with optimism for a future where opportunities flourish.
Richard Taylor with members of the Youth Filming Project
We aim to restore the hope, optimism and self-esteem of youths aged 14 –24 in South London so that they can:
- Lead healthy lives
- Stay in school
- Grow up to become independent productive adults;
- Have lofty aspirations and work to attain their innate potential
Thank you for your interest. We welcome your support.
