Anthony Walker Foundation
Description
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. Primarily through arts and education based workshops on diversity and inclusion delivered locally and nationally through schools and youth clubs, in addition to the annual arts/sport/education AWF festival in Liverpool celebrating diversity in the month of Anthony’s anniversary. Such activities and events contribute to improving community cohesion and promotes social inclusion.

In a world without hatred, where racism, bigotry and prejudice didn't exist, Anthony Walker would be celebrating his 29th birthday today with his family and friends. Absolutely senseless and unimaginable that in a civilised society a young man's life can be tragically cut short because he was seen as different by his killers. Thoughts, best wishes and respect to Gee Walker and all the Walker family, and Anthony himself today. #RIPAnthonyWalker #NeverForget
Lots of support for Gee and the Walker family following the news yesterday and clearly many people are shocked and cannot believe the sentence of one of Anthony's killers has been reduced. There were many requests for Gee to respond to the decision however she was otherwise engaged delivering a presentation to the pupils at Alsop High School in Liverpool. Her message was both positive and powerful demonstrating her determination to stand tall against all the personal adversity and grief spanning the 10 years since Anthony's death. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/gee-walker-delivers-message-hope-10827888
