We are on a mission to eradicate gun and knife crime by unlocking the potential within our youth. Through inspiring programs and opportunities, we guide young people away from gangs, helping them realise their dreams and build a brighter, safer future.
At GLF, we don't just talk about change we drive it. We lobby relentlessly for stronger knife crime laws and share compelling stories of loss and hope. Yvonne Lawson's voice echoes the pain and resilience of countless families, spotlighting the urgent need for reform.
The Godwin Lawson Foundation (GLF) was born from tragedy in 2012, when Yvonne and Calvin Lawson transformed their grief into a powerful force for good. Their son, Godwin, heroically tried to protect friends from a knife attack and lost his life. GLF stands as a testament to his bravery, committed to preventing such tragedies.
We are a team of passionate trustees, volunteers, and storytellers dedicated to crafting impactful support, experiences that inspire and engage youth.
