GIVE LIFE...
DON'T TAKE LIFE...
We stand for:
A simple additional layer of protection
Calling on the governemnent to provide publicly
accessible and well maintained bleed-control kits in places where young people live, learn, travel and gather.
This isnt to replace prevention, policing,
first aid or ambulance services.
Because preventing violence matters.
But when an injury happens, saving
the life in front of you matters too.
We cannot undo every loss. But we can work towards preventing the next one, whilst facilitating the aftercare for those going through trauma. With the mindset and strategy that prevention is better than cure.
MUSE ON A MISSION
A collective creating positive change
through action, connection and creativity
Muse on a Mission brings together inspirational people of all ages and backgrounds who volunteer their time, skills, networks and resources to create meaningful, hands-on change in the UK and abroad.
Our Muses come from different worlds, each bringing their own experiences, talents and solutions to the table. Together, we turn ideas into action.
Many of our Muses have received support and
consultation from solutions supremo Remain Human,
who has documented moments of their work,
achievements and accolades through a real-life conceptual mixed-media art series titled Muse on a Mission.
Culminating in the Give Life, Don’t take life. 1 Luv One Blood campaign to facilitate solutions that uplift
society and in turn humanity on a whole by
positive people working together, sharing and caring.
SOCIETY IS EXPERIENCING COLLECTIVE TRAUMA
There are ways forward. There is a solution.
One million people.
One shared purpose.
As a social experiment and conceptual art project, we are calling on one million volunteers.
This ambition is inspired by the scale, creativity and community spirit of Notting Hill Carnival.
Marianne Alapini, an award-winning Carnival ambassador for many years, has played an
important role in celebrating and championing
that spirit of community.
The 60th anniversary of Notting Hill Carnival
marked a significant milestone in its history.
The occasion also saw the unveiling of the Guinness World Records’ largest blue plaque, dedicated to the inspirations and founders of Notting Hill Carnival.
We want to carry that spirit of collective action into a new generation by inviting influencers, streamers, creatives, entrepreneurs and members
of the public to come forward.
Whether you can give your time, skills, network, resources or simply a brilliant idea, there is a
place for you in this mission.
One million volunteers. One million possibilities.
The Richard Okorogheye Foundation
Five years on, we remember Richard.
Five years ago, Evidence Joel lost her son,
Richard Okorogheye, who was her only child.
Richard’s story is at the heart of our first campaign drive.
As we acknowledge the fifth anniversary of his passing, we are standing alongside Evidence and every family who has experienced the devastating loss or disappearance of a loved one.
The Richard Okorogheye Foundation represents our commitment to ensuring that families affected by the disappearance or loss of a child or loved one have access to continued support, connection and trauma-relief initiatives.
His memory is not simply something to remember. It is a reason to act.
Wear Red for Richard
This September, we are asking people to wear red for Richard Okorogheye, honouring his memory while raising awareness of the NHS’s urgent need for blood donors.
Our campaign aims to inspire people to give blood and help us work towards a collective goal of one million blood donations for the NHS.
A single donation can make a life-changing difference to someone facing surgery, illness, injury or a medical emergency. Behind every donation is a person choosing to give someone else the chance to live.
Help us reach our goal.
A life dedicated to protecting life.
Marianne, also Treasurer of the Richard Okorogheye
Foundation, is a key campaigner in this blood-donation drive.
Having donated blood 33 times herself, Marianne understands that giving blood is more than an act of kindness.
It is a commitment to protecting life.
Her work extends beyond blood donation. Marianne has also campaigned against youth violence and for stronger protections against dangerous weapons, including zombie knives and machetes.
She has supported the wider conversation around Idris Elba’s Don’t Stop Your Future campaign, which called for urgent action to tackle knife crime and protect young lives.
From protecting young people on our streets to helping save lives in hospitals, Marianne’s message is clear:
Every life matters. Every action counts.
Join us in solidarity. Wear red for Richard.
Give blood. Help keep someone else’s future alive.
Blood gives life. And every drop matters.

Our First Community Initiative
Giving life doesn’t stop with blood donation.
Clean, healing water is another essential part of health, wellbeing and everyday life. And an integral part of our Trauma Relief & Wellness Centres.
As part of our commitment to supporting families affected by trauma and health challenges, we are providing local community members with water filtration and ionisation systems to help them access cleaner, more nourishing water in their homes.
Our first initiative will support families whose children are experiencing skin conditions and digestive issues, giving them access to water-based solutions designed to support their everyday wellbeing.
This is the practical action behind our mission: bringing people, resources and solutions together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of families who need support.
Blood can save a life. Water sustains it. Every drop matters.
Help us change lives.
