Here's Our Story

We believe Lewisham Speakers is one of the best toastmaster clubs in London
and we champion the rich traditions of growth, diversity and whole a lot of fun
our mission is to enrich lives through communication, leadership and contribution.

Our History

Lewisham Speakers is a public speaking club based in Lewisham, South London. We are part of Toastmasters International, a non-profit organisation founded by Ralph Smedley in 1924 for developing your public speaking and leadership skills.

Lewisham Speakers Club was founded in November 2008, Chris Howell and the clubs first president Philip Landergan. Our first meeting took place at Lochaber Hall in Lee. Fortunately, due to the interest and excitement generated around the club, we managed to achieve charter status (20 active members) in less than 6 months. We’ve not looked back since.

Our Mission

Enhancing lives through communication, leadership & contribution.

We are a group of ordinary people who come together at a Lewisham Speakers club on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday every month to improve our public speaking, leadership and havea whole lot of fun. At the core of our mission is to help everyone who comes through our doors to improve their life in some way. Our aim is to empower individuals to become confident public speakers.

HOW TO JOIN US?

Joining Lewisham Speakers will help you develop the skills you need to become a better public speaker, communicator and leader.

Our club is a group of down to earth people with the desire to improve their public speaking skills. None of us is a ‘professional’, however our experienced members have developed their skills and give high-quality speeches that we all can learn from.

It’s worth noting that it isn’t just our experienced members who give great speeches. Our club has a great track record of developing people who initially consider themselves in need of improvement, into great speakers very quickly. One of the best things about being a member is that everyone learns from each other, whatever stage they are at.
