The Damilola Taylor Trust supports disadvantaged and underprivileged young people in London, coaching and inspiring them to recognise and realise their potential. Through its activities and projects, the Trust equips young people with the confidence and skills to face the challenges of adulthood and improve their life chances. The charity was founded by Richard Taylor OBE in 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.
