I was a member of the founding committee for Nottingham Speakers’ Corner and remain the main contact for the project based in King Street. Between 2010 – 2015 I served as a Trustee and Director and returned as Chair in 2018.

My role has been to oversee a review of the charity, and work with my fellow Trustees to plan for a sustainable future which sees the charity addressing current societal issues. My professional life is in public relations, public affairs, and corporate communications.

I enjoy making speeches, training speechwriters, and crafting speeches for others.

I have been a Speakers' Corner Trust director and trustee since 2018.

I am a community activist, passionate about fairness and equality and organiser of the ‘We Are Superwoman’ women empowerment conferences which were held annually from 2015-2018.

I am a speaker, writer and project manager currently working for the Croydon BME Forum.

I have had an extensive career in banking, corporate trust, and corporate services. As a director of over 60 companies and an experienced mentor I can offer considerable strategic expertise, underlaid with a commitment to open debate and democracy. I have built my career expertise through a practical application of relationship building, knowledge gathering and leadership.

I am a former President of The Association of Corporate Trustees with a longstanding interest in promoting and developing best possible corporate governance which I am now applying to the charitable sector as a chair of trustees, trustee and non-executive director.

I am a senior policy analyst at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. I specialise in technology and public policy and has previously conducted analysis on how the nature of democracy and government is changing because of the technological revolution.

As a result of this, I am particularly interested in how to foster constructive civic engagement in social media driven democracies. At Speaker’s Corner Trust, I co-ordinate the online public debates on pertinent political, social, and cultural topics.

I am Marta, I am Italian, and I work at the University of Leicester. With a degree in Psychology and a strong interest in societal issues such as human rights, freedom of speech, and gender equality, I joined the Speakers’ Corner Trust as a Trustee in January 2022.

Previously I had worked with the charity as a research assistant on a project addressing the effects of COVID-19 on local democracy. As a trustee, I aim to provide links to academic stakeholders and support in grant writing and outreach activities.

I am a trustee of Youth Cymru, the charity representing the youth sector in Wales and also a trustee of Cathays Community Centre.

I am passionate about making a difference and have got involved in many organisations working towards similar aims to SCT, such as being a community organiser within Citizens UK, an ambassador for global injustice action organisation Peace First, and as a co-creator of the Democracy Box, helping young people to understand and engage in democracy.
