FROM SOPHIE LANCASTER FOUNDATION: 

 

Today is both Sophie’s and Sylvia’s birthday. We remember them both.

For Sophie’s first heavenly birthday, Sylvia had a gig, where our iconic black Sophie wristbands made their first appearance. Instead of having a minute’s silence, it was decided it was far more fitting for the gig audience to show their respect and love by ‘making a noise’. Now every year we reach out to the community and ask you, to join us, and Make a Noise for Sophie!

Make a Noise is all about standing together and celebrating difference; whoever you are, alternative or ally, we want to respect where it all began and remember Sophie and shout loud and proud about our shared values of tolerance and respect.

This past weekend, we posted a range of fundraisers and supporters who are making a noise this November for Sophie. Thank you to everyone for everything you do to show your support - we couldn't achieve anything without you. Our final post will be at midnight; ‘Illusion’ by VNV Nation, always a special song to Sylvia as it was dedicated to Sophie on the night that she died.

Let’s remember Sophie, celebrate difference and above all – love being who you are – and don’t go quietly!

Happy Birthday Sophie and Sylvia.
