Transform young lives today
We believe every young person should have access to the very top. And you can help them get it.
Speakers for Schools levels the playing field for young people in some of the most disadvantaged UK state secondary schools across the UK. We do this through inspirational talks led by top industry speakers and providing access to high quality work experience with hundreds of leading companies.

Right now young people need our help to get ahead more than ever. But our work relies on donations, gifts and grants to make a difference.
Support young people like Joyce
Meet Joyce. Joyce is from Merton in London. Like millions of other young people in the UK, she struggled to access opportunities to experience the world of work during the pandemic.
Fortunately, Joyce was able to secure a virtual work experience placements with Caxton Associates and the Bank of England through Speakers for Schools that allowed her to start building her skills and boosting her confidence and her CV for the future. She now plans to work in finance and feels ready to make her dream career a reality.
Since [doing virtual work experience], I’ve learnt so much. I think it’s so important for everyone to get work experience because you need some sort of foundation as to how to build your skills” – Joyce, 16.
