About us
Who we are
Founded by journalist, Robert Peston, our aim is to end educational inequality by investing in young people through our national school talks with over 1,600 high-profile figures and our Experience programme. Speakers for Schools is a rapidly growing UK education charity that facilitates over 3,500 engagements annually and we are dedicated to helping young people engage with leading figures and organisations, helping break down barriers to all professions and help young people reach their potential through access to esteemed insights, information and experiences through our unique networks. We work with employers, government, professional bodies, educators and institutions at the most senior levels to make this possible. Please see our website for more information.
