Baroness Doreen Lawrence OBE
Founding Trustee
Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust
Baroness Lawrence of Clarendon OBE (Chair) Baroness Doreen Lawrence was awarded the OBE for services to community relations in 2003 and was subsequently made a life peer in the House of Lords in 2013. She has won praise for her tireless dedication to community, anti-racism and other causes close to her heart and in 2014, she was named the most powerful woman in the country by the BBC. Baroness Lawrence continues to advocate and provide a voice for the voiceless with her continued commitment to inequalities in societies globally, and she supports many good causes and initiatives that provide opportunities to young people, that were tragically denied to her son Stephen by his senseless murder in 1993. Her efforts in seeking justice for Stephen’s murder have seen her ongoing commitment lead to an investigation into claims of police corruption and, for her, the changes in policing remain ‘only partly done’ in her wish to see Britain become a fair, just and tolerant society for all.
