Invite a Red Cross speaker to your school or community group

What is a Red Cross speaker?

Our trained volunteer speakers deliver engaging talks that: 

• Explain the vital role of the British Red Cross in emergencies and everyday life. 
• Share real stories of people we’ve helped and the difference we make. 
• Highlight ways your group can get involved and support our humanitarian mission. 

Talks can be tailored for schools, youth groups, clubs, and community organisations, making them perfect for assemblies, lessons, or special events.

It’s free to book a speaker. Talks typically last 30 to 60 minutes. These talks are delivered by Red Cross volunteers and supporters.

We have specialist professionals that can deliver talks and workshops on other specific topics. If you're looking for speakers on the following topics, please visit these pages for more information:

• First aid workshops

Be inspired by stories made possible by our supporters

Supported by the British Red Cross, the Ukrainian Red Cross Home Care programme supports people like Tamara, who can no longer walk and lives alone outside Kyiv. 

Her social helper, Svitlana, visits almost every day to cook, clean, bring groceries and medicine, and offer comfort during the ongoing conflict. “Without her, it would be terrible… she also supports me emotionally,” Tamara says. 

Their bond shows how vital this care is for people who might otherwise face isolation.
