Request a School Speaker

If you would like to arrange a visit from a humanist school speaker, please complete the form below. 

We have free, trained, and experienced volunteers across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland that can visit schools to talk about humanism.

Using their life experience and knowledge, our School Speakers can add a personal dimension to young people’s study of humanism that goes ‘beyond the textbook’. They offer a range of services and will fit around your needs and requirements.

Find out more about how a school speaker can help you by visiting Understanding Humanism.

Please state whether you are seeking an in-person or a virtual visit in the ‘Further details’ box on the request form.

We aim to respond to requests for humanist school speakers within 10 working days.

Expenses: We are a charity and our school speakers are volunteers who are happy to offer their time and expertise for free. We very much hope that schools will be able to cover any travel expenses incurred by our volunteers or make a contribution where expenses are considerable because of the distances involved. We hope you will understand that our speakers may have to turn down a request if a school is unable to cover or contribute to expenses where these are considerable.
