DAMILOLA TAYLOR TRUST

The current activities of the charity are two fold: in its wider sense it is to campaign to create a community resilience to youth violent crime. More specifically the Charity works to mentor families and young people on how to make a significant transition in thinking and knowledge so that they can lead healthy lives; stay in school; grow up to become productive adults in society.
