Wednesday 7th December 2022 marked the third annual Day of Hope in the UK, commemorating what would have been Damilola Taylor’s 33rd birthday.

Some members of Oliver Goldsmith Primary School, were honoured to be able to join this event to commemorate the kind of person Damilola was.

We look forward to working closely with the Damilola Taylor Trust campaign, which was founded to  shine a light on the positive contribution young people make in society and keep Damilola’s legacy to ‘change the world‘, alive.
