Anthony Walker Foundation

Anthony Walker Foundation The Anthony Walker Foundation is a registered charity established by Anthony's family after his racially motivated murder in 2005.

AWF works to prevent youth involvement in hate crime by working with all young people across racial groups to feel secure in their identity and empowered to welcome and celebrate diversity in their communities.

◾Anthony Walker Law Bursary with Crown Prosecution Service and Liverpool John Moores University, aimed at supporting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to become a lawyer (this was Anthony’s aspiration
◾Annual Anthony Walker Memorial Lecture with National Union of Teachers

◾Talks/workshops for national conferences
◾Contribution to Show Racism the Red Card & Kick it Out Campaigns

Thank you International Slavery Museum and National Museums Liverpool for your article on the process of redesigning the Anthony Walker Learning Centre, including a behind-the-scenes look at some of the ideas and designs created by our TRSA Ambassadors from, The Belvedere Academy , St Hildas CE High School , Childwall_Academy, and Liverpool College.
We are so pleased that our current student Ambassadors have been engaged in this project, creating a learning space for generations to come, and one that is dedicated to Anthony.

When the International Slavery Museum reopens in 2029, visitors will find more than a transformed gallery. At its heart will be a new learning space carrying the name of Anthony Walker; a place designed not simply to remember a life cut short, but to inspire generations of young people to challenge racism, discrimination and hate.

Together with Anthony Walker Foundation and Lead Architect from Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Kossy Nnachetta, we led a series of workshops placing young people at the centre of designing the museum’s future Anthony Walker Learning Centre.

Anthony Walker Foundation are devastated to hear the news of Professor Jason Arday's passing.

We were saddened to witness the unrelenting coverage, scrutiny of Jason's private life, and targeting of those connected to him over the past few weeks. Much of which has been characterised by racial bias and racism.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jason's friends, family and loved ones at this very difficult time.

RIP Professor Jason Arday

Back in June we posted about the fundraising walk that Peter Currie's sons, Sam and Robert, planned to do in their dad's memory.

Last month they completed their challenge, following the path of Hadrian's Wall and a walk of 84 miles (135 km). The National Trail's page for Hadrian's Wall suggests that, for an experienced walker, "we generally recommend allowing 6 or 7 days to complete the whole Trail".

The lads completed it in 4 days! Congratulations to Sam and Robert, and a massive thank you to you and all your friends and family who raised an incredible £2,080! We are very grateful to you both for fundraising for us, and we know how proud your dad is of you and how he was with you every step of the way.

Please welcome the wonderful Salesbond team "The Sales Pitches" who are taking part in this year's by walking 21km through Delamere Forest, and have chosen us as their charity beneficiary!

One of their team, Alyssa, was friends with the Walker family whilst at school so, as she has shared on her own post, she "put forward a cause that is very, very close to my heart!"

We cannot thank you enough, Alyssa, or the rest of your team, and we are excited to see how the challenge goes!

If our followers would like to support them in their efforts, the link to their fundraising page is in the comments below

21 years ago today, July 30th, Anthony Walker was taken from his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him after a senseless racially-motivated attack.

A young man, 18 years old, full of promise, ambition, and kindness.

Shortly after his death, his family established the Anthony Walker Foundation in his memory to honour his life, and create a legacy and vision for a fairer and more equitable society.

This day serves as a tragic reminder that racism still exists; of the urgent need to speak out against hate, violence and division; and the much needed support for those still on the receiving end of that hatred. Fights which are far from over. But all at the Anthony Walker Foundation remain committed to our promise: to share Anthony’s story, to raise awareness, to promote and grow his legacy, and to support those impacted by hate. If you or someone you know have been a victim of racial or religious hate, please get in touch by emailing [email protected].

The Walker family are always in our thoughts, as Anthony Delano Walker remains at the heart of everything we do; but today, of all days, we send our love, best wishes, and prayers to Dr. Gee Walker and all of the Walker family.

Sefton Council Southport, Sefton and the Liverpool City Region will fall silent at 3pm today (29th July), to remember all those directly affected by the Southport tragedy.

Our thoughts remain with the families of Alice, Bebe & Elsie, everyone injured physically and psychologically, their families and their loved ones and all those whose lives were changed that day.

This silence will be recognised by Sefton Council and other public bodies across the Liverpool City Region and we ask everyone to join in this silence with us, wherever you find yourself.

You can access support by heading to the ‘Southport Together’ option in their bio.

‘Anthony Reads’ is a new book club organised by Neston High Library and it is being rolled out by our other ‘Tackling Racism in Schools Awards’ partner schools, who are all vowing to continue their anti-racism journey by diversifying and decolonizing their reading lists.

Schools will fully launch this new club in September, and we are excited to hear from students and our TRSA Ambassadors what they are currently reading, what they are learning from expanding their bookshelves, and to being a part of the inter-school discussions.

We will continue to share updates from the ‘Anthony Reads’ book club, so keep tuned in September for more information.

Read it. Talk it. Change it.
