Speaker Network
We are excited to announce that we have a network of volunteer speakers around Cornwall available for providing interesting talks and inspiring presentations about our work. Find out how your support makes a huge difference in helping to create a Cornwall where nature can thrive. This service doesn't have a charge; however, by learning about the impact of Cornwall Wildlife Trust's vital work across the county, we hope you feel encouraged to donate, raise vital funds for us, or consider us to be your charity of the year!
These presentations are about the Trust in general with an overview of the inspiring and wonderful work that we do. We are currently unable to provide subject-specific presentations through this programme (although we are currently working on more topics - stay tuned!); however, please scroll down for specific seal and beaver talks, as well as to hear about the inspirational work of Rupert Kirkwood, the lone kayaker. Groups must also be able to provide screen/projector facilities to show a Powerpoint presentation. If this isn't possible, there may be the option for the Speaker to arrange hosting the talk at the CWT HQ in Allet, Truro.
Click the button below to request a speaker and if they are available, they will be in contact with you to arrange the talk.
Please note: apologies but due to the voluntary nature of our speaker network, some requests may not be met. If your requested date is far in the future and you haven't heard back, please try again nearer the time through contacting Sam Lucock (Community Fundraising and Support Officer): Sam.Lucock@cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk
We are now delighted to announce that we offer the opportunity for primary schools to request a Talk! This special Talk is a fun and interactive opportunity for children aged 5-11 to learn about the fantastic wildlife that we have here in Cornwall, as well as to complete a special wildlife-themed activity at the end to raise awareness of how to care for wildlife locally! The ultimate way to inspire the next generation of wildlife conservationists in Cornwall.
To book the talk for primary schools, please specify the "youth" presentation to help us differentiate!
Please note: Our Speakers are not DBS checked; therefore, we ask that a qualified teacher is present at all times during the presentation.
If you have any queries about the primary school presentation at all, please email Sam Lucock (Community Fundraising and Support Officer): Sam.Lucock@cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk!
For specialised talks, please see the choices below. Please note, however, that these are separate from Cornwall Wildlife Trust's Speaker Network programme, so please liaise with the facilitators and click on the respective links to accommodate a talk.
Please check back over the following months for future specialised talks - stay tuned!
