Speakers Trust
What our donation will help fund
We want to reach as many young people as possible, transforming our delivery model away from our current process of professional trainers delivering our work and to a new sustainable process. We would achieve this through: digital innovation and the untapped potential within our teaching community.
We want to empower teachers. Through training programmes, educational technology, and digital resources, we will equip teachers across England to become confident public speaking coaches in their schools. This sustainable approach means each pound invested continues generating impact year after year, as trained teachers pass these vital skills to new cohorts of students.
To drive engagement and showcase young voices, we will establish a network of professional 'TEDx-style' speaking platforms across the country. These events will not only provide students with inspiring goals and real-world speaking opportunities but will also create powerful platforms where young people can address issues that matter to them, speaking directly to leaders in business, politics, and their local communities.
