Speakers Trust's vision is a society where everyone has the skills, confidence and desire to speak in public. Our mission is to promote the lifetime benefits of effective public speaking and communication skills through campaigning, training and community involvement. We support and train those at the margins of society and their advocates, so that they can make their voice heard in their communities and thereby develop their self esteem and improve their educational opportunities, employability and life chances.
We provide professional training for young people and adults who would not generally have access to effective courses. We work with schools, youth groups, numerous charities and not-for-profit organisations through partnerships, funded programmes, commissioned prorgrammes and open courses. We also support volunteer led self help groups and community clubs that encourage the development of public speaking and communication skills.
