YOUTH SPEAKS COMPETITION 2025

Calling all young people, teachers and youth leaders! We are holding our annual Youth Speaks Competition for young people aged 11 to 17. Click on 'Details' below to find out more!


Every year we hold a local competition for young people aged 11-17.

Teams comprise three people who take on the roles of chairperson, speaker and vote of thanks.  The young people select a topic they care deeply about and prepare a speech or discussion around it.  They present this to a team of judges and an audience, with the best teams going forward to the final.

This competition encourages the development of communication skills, confidence and teamwork by having the young people deliver speeches on topics of their choice and it also provides the students with valuable experience and the chance to showcase their abilities in front of an audience.

For more information on how to enter, please contact us.
