Broadcaster Kevin McCloud makes an appeal on behalf of the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust. Like Kevin, Stephen Lawrence had a love of buildings and wanted to become an architect. After his death, Stephen's family established the trust in his name to help other promising young people overcome the poverty and discrimination that so often stop them realising their dreams. Kevin meets Stephen's mother Doreen to hear how the trust runs a number of schemes that transform the lives of young men and women from disadvantaged backgrounds seeking careers in elite professions like architecture and law.

The film also features Eniola Asaolu, who grew up in a tough area of north London. As a teenager he was confronted with the choice of either joining a gang or becoming a victim of one, but he was determined to find an alternative. His ambition was to become a corporate lawyer, but with his background, entering the profession seemed like an impossible dream. His fortunes changed when he won a place on a scholarship scheme the trust runs in conjunction with one of the City's top law firms. As well as supporting the cost of his studies, he is being mentored by senior partners in the firm, and has overcome many of the cultural barriers that often block the way for people from his background.
