In August 2007, young Goth woman, Sophie Lancaster was savagely beaten by a gang of youths because she ‘looked different’.
Four years ago today she tragically died from her injuries.
After her death, Propaganda and Illamasqua made a pledge to help Sophie’s mother, Sylvia, to do all we can to help the charity she set up in her daughter’s name, The Sophie Lancaster Foundation, to Stamp Out Prejudice, Hatred & Intolerance Everywhere.
Four years on, although we are still reeling from the unnecessary death of this vibrant, smart young woman, we are also extremely proud and honoured to have helped the charity come so far…
But don’t just take our word for it. Please watch this short film that we have produced for The Sophie Lancaster Foundation, to see the impact Sophie’s story and her charity’s work has had on the world.
Enjoy, and let us know what you think.
