NEVER TAKE US (DOWN) – SOPHIE LANCASTER CHARITY SINGLE - OUT NOW!

Photobucket

"Never Take Us Down" was written and recorded by Beholder and is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Sophie. The track is also a testament to all those who face Prejudice, Intollerance and Hatred just for being who they wanna be!

The single is simply priced at 79p and ALL PROCEEDS are going to the Foundation, which is an organisation lobbying for crimes such as that inflicted on Sophie to be officially classed as Hate Crimes, and in doing so working towards the eradication of Hatred & Intollerence!

To co-incide with the release of Never Take Us Down, Beholder have stitched together a video for the release.

With still frames and video footage from shows, recording sessions and the obvious sentiments associated with Sophie, which is an an entertaining but heartfelt offering.



GET YOUR COPY NOW AND HELP US FIGHT PREJUDICE, INTOLLERANCE AND HATERED.

The video below shows Sophie's funeral as filmed for national television.

Hello Everyone,
this is from Sophie's Mum, Sylvia

Sophie sadly died on August 24th 2007, following the horrific attack on her and her partner Rob in Stubbeylee Park, Bacup,Lancashire on the 11th August. Sophie and Rob dressed in their unique way, expressing their individuality as creative artistic people.

I have consulted with both family and friends and we feel that Sophie's Memorial Fund should be set up. Alongside the fund we haved launched a campaign for Sophie; it will be known as S.O.P.H.I.E
This stands for:

S tamp
Out
Prejudice
Hatred +
Intolerance
Everywhere

The Sophie Lancaster Foundation will be run by a committee of family and close friends who knew Sophie. The aims of the Foundation will be to provide an appropriate memorial; a lasting legacy to raise awareness of the injustice perpetrated against Sophie Lancaster and to work towards a more tolerant, less violent society.

There is now a HALIFAX bank account under the name

SOPHIE's Memorial Fund
account number 00458724 sort code 11-06-44 which can be used to make a donation or in which to deposit any funds raised from events.


for more details please email the hotmail address below. An on-line book of condolence can be signed by going to www.legacy.com/TheRossendaleFreePress and type in Sophie Lancaster

The family can be contacted at: inmemoryofsophie@hotmail.co.uk
thank you for reading this and supporting the campaign.





UPDATE

The trial of Brendan Harris started on the 10th March 2008 after Ryan Herbert pleaded to the murder of Sophie.
The trial lasted three weeks and Harris was found guilty unanimously by the jury after only a short deliberation.

Sentencing took place on the 28th April 2008 , where Harris received an 18 year term and Herbert a 16 year term. Both were life sentences.

All five defendants including brothers Joseph and Danny Hulme and Daniel Mallett also had pleaded guilty to the Section 18 Assault with intent of Rob, and were given 5.5 years and 4.5 years respectively. They were sentenced as "Dangerous Offenders" under the 2003 Dangerous Offenders Act and will be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure until it is deemed that they are no longer a threat to the public.

It was announced in June that they are all to seek leave to appeal against their sentences.
Thankfully in October 2009 this was unsuccessful, Ryan Herbert did get a 9 month reduction, but they all lost their appeal against the attack and murder being a hate crime and their appeal against them being deemed as "dangerous" was lost.
Following the trial we have established THE SOPHIE LANCASTER FOUNDATION. Through the Foundation we will raise awareness of the prejudice and violence faced by people from alternative subcultures. We will develop and deliver workshops tackling the issues and challenging pre-conceptions. hopefully starting in the summer term 2010. We will continue the social and political campaigning in the same dignified manner we have adhered to since the attack on Sophie and Rob though the S.O.P.H.I.E. Campaign.

As of April, over £30,000 has been raised through the fantastic efforts of many people throughout the UK and beyond. We would like to thank everyone for their kindness in organising and supporting these events.

In 2009 we were awarded £30,000 by the Criminal Community Cashback Fund, where the assets taken from criminals is awarded to organisations who are tackling the anti-social behaviour that blights our society. We received the most votes in Lancashire and have been working in partnership the Criminal Justice Board.
In October 2009, Sylvia was invited to join the Government's Hate Crime Advisory Board. This is of huge importance as it places The Sophie Lancaster Foundation at the heart of policy.
We have been at times overwhelmed by your generosity of spirit. This has encouraged us to carry on our work during the most difficult of times.

We would like to express our sincere thanks for your continued support




Sylvia Lancaster and The Sophie Lancaster Foundation Committee.

A poem from someone you haven't heard from in a while.
I wrote this today, thinking of Sophie, in honor of the three year mark since our loss.

In Memoriam, by Corey Galvan

Its been three whole years today,
Since last your heart beat strong.
And to this day I've not forgot,
Nor released the fire I hold inside.

Your memory still lives on,
Though in requiem your body lies.
A mother still carries on while you may not,
The strength of thousands behind her stands.

Not I nor any soul likened to thee,
Has forgotten the horrors of your tragedy.
Still we stand prepared for war,
Together we'll fight when the world does turn.

Alone we do not stand,
For those compassioned to us support.
Friends not quite like us still guard our backs,
And stand beside us when intolerance calls.

Stand beside me and scream,
Outside we will always be different,
Proud of who we are and why we live,
Here despite all opposition,
Inside we are all the same,
Everyone stand and be yourself.
