Our Projects

The Cherry Groce Foundation offers a comprehensive range of services, including educational and training programmes aimed at youth violence reduction, the development of resources to enhance police and institutional practices through Restorative Justice, and the adaptation of storytelling resources from Lee Lawrence's autobiography for educational purposes.

The Foundation also delivers various community Initiative projects as well as community transport service.

Education Programme

The Louder I Will Sing, is an educational programme established in 2022. The project's aim is teaching conflict resolution, restorative justice, and promoting diversity in the curriculum.

Our team work directly with schools to foster environments where young people can express themselves, set goals, and engage in meaningful dialogue.

Community Projects

The Cherry Groce Foundation was established as a tribute to Cherry Groce, who radiated positive energy and chose to live life to the fullest despite her circumstances.

It's that spirit we work to honour by supporting members of the BME community with a physical or mental impairment/disability - often facing challenging circumstances - live full lives.

Restorative Justice

In 2016 a High Court order was issued following the Restorative Justice outcome with the family of Cherry Groce. The Foundation embodies a legacy of resilience and justice. Central to its mission are the principles of Restorative Justice and violence reduction, with a significant focus on fostering positive community relations bridging the gap between institutions such as the MPS and our communties.

Community Transport

Community transport services in London provide essential support for individuals who have difficulty using public transport. Our community transport initiative provides individuals in the community a door-to-door transport, trips to shopping centres, and other essential journeys.

The Memorial

The Cherry Groce memorial in Windrush Square was officially unveiled on 25th April 2021.
Designed by Sir David Adjaye, the memorial is a tribute to the life of Cherry Groce, an innocent mother who was shot in her home in 1985 by the Metropolitan Police.
