Our Founder's Statement

"It is a fundamental right of every human being to be able to express themselves. Those who have the gift of speech can reclaim this ability to speak and be heard.

This is the core aim of Speaking Out Forum to empower our participants, through our public speaking training, building their skills and confidence to give their unique contribution to Society.

In order to fulfill these aims I founded Speaking Out Forum in 2Ol8.

We have a committed and vibrant team who work hard to achieve our vision and values."

Simone Lakmaker

What is speaking out forum

The Speaking Out Forum is a small charity whose vision is a society where young adults with disabilities, learning difficulties, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds have an equal voice in society to speak and to be heard.

Our aim is to empower our participants to speak in public by developing their communication skills whilst simultaneously enriching their daily and working lives. To achieve this, we provide a public speaking course which builds self-confidence and well-being. The course is led by trained facilitators and assisted by mentors. At the end of the course, we celebrate the achievement of each participant by giving them an opportunity to speak in public and by presenting them with a certificate and medal.
