22 April is national Stephen Lawrence Day, celebrating the life and legacy of Stephen Lawrence, a young man with a bright future ahead of him who was tragically murdered in a racist attack at just 18 years old. Although short, his life has had a profound impact, including bringing about changes to UK law.
In view of recent developments in relation to COVID-19 the 42nd Street team have reflected on how to respond in order to keep young people’s needs at the centre of all they do and as a key service in Greater Manchester, whilst balancing their responsibilities to adhere to government advice around social distancing.
The 42nd Street Horsfall creative groups and gallery might be closed at the minute but they have been busy thinking of ways to keep everyone connected and creative while we are all at home. Launching on Monday 23 March they will be running a fun, free accessible daily creative challenge on their social media to alleviate boredom and feelings of isolation that young people (and everyone) may be experiencing whilst at home. Create, connect and share your work! #horsfallcreateandconnect
