On behalf of all of us at @SpeakersTrust I would like to extend our sympathies to Sir Jack's family and friends and all at @JPFoundation Sir Jack has been an enormous presence for us. More than 300,000 young people have grown in confidence because of the work he has supported

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Sir Jack Petchey CBE. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends. If you would like to write a message in memory, please post it here or directly on our dedicated in-memory page: sirjackpetcheycbe.muchloved.com

We are looking for new trustees at @SpeakersTrust to support our ambition that every young person leaves school with the confidence, skills and opportunity to speak and be heard... Please share and get in touch if you are interested in the role 🫵 peridotpartners.co.uk/jobs/trustees-…


If the election pans out as most of us think … Most young people leaving primary school next month would be able to vote in the next general election if we have votes at 16 🗳️ We need to ensure that they become politically literate and engaged during this time. 🕰️


Such an important skill for all young people to be developing - thanks for supporting our work 👇

Wow! We were left speechless watching Melis and Culford perform their speeches at the @SpeakersTrust Speak Out finals! Public speaking is such a talent, and we were so proud of our two students who performed their speeches with humour, maturity and humility👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 @UnitySchoolsP

Fascinating listen for anyone involved in education 👇

I came into politics because I believed in its power to be a force for good in people’s lives. I believe our country’s best days are ahead of us — great to talk with @campbellclaret and @rorystewartuk about the change Labour offers. open.spotify.com/episode/0iO0ad…



Love this project … giving young people the confidence, skills and opportunity to speak and be heard …

1/2 🧵 💂It has been a month since My Maiden Speech project took place; 13 young people representing 12 different charities spoke in the House of Lords about issues that matter to them this election year. #youthvoice



Pleased to see #SpeakingSkills getting a mention in the @UKLabour #Manifesto At @SpeakersTrust we have supported over half a million young people develop these #EssentialSkills over the last 20 years. Every young person deserves this opportunity #Oracy
