Registered speakers are vital ambassadors delivering talks to groups and organisations in their local area. As well as promoting the Charity, our Speakers also help raise much-needed funds and encourage others to do the same.
Speakers are encouraged to promote and organise their own talks, and requests are also passed to speakers by our Community Fundraising team and via the charity’s supporter groups. Talk requests will be for locations within an agreed geographical area.
