Testimonials

“The children loved it. It was great for them to do something a little different from their usual lessons… I also liked how the children were given a current issue to discuss. It not only resonated with them but also made them feel like they were discussing something important. Would definitely do it again.”

Zoe Marchant, Year 6 Teacher, St Stephen’s C of E Primary School
"I really want to do this again because it really helped my confidence"

Nawel, year 6 pupil, Colville Primary
"Amber was just full of it after her L4L session!! She really loved it! She told me all about the process of the court, the detail of the trial and her role and responsibilities. Thank you - one inspired 10 year old!"

Laura, parent of Amber, year 6

How do we work?

We collaborate with schools

We want to ensure that pupils from less advantaged backgrounds are getting the education they need to succeed and the only way we can help with that is by listening to schools. Our workshops are designed WITH shools to ensure that pupil’s gain from our volunteers’ experience in a meaningful way.

We work with primary and secondary schools

Through our research of other oracy charities and providers we found that the education of these skills are lacking in primary schools so we have included them in our workshops. It is never to early to find your voice!

We foster community links

We try to match our volunteer lawyers with schools close to where they live or where they work. By doing this, we create a greater bond between volunteer and their local community, making the volunteer experience more meaningful and fulfilling.
