Compassion in World Farming provides a speaker service for schools, youth clubs, colleges, universities and adult groups in the UK. In many parts of the UK we can provide a speaker in person. We can also do online talks to any English-speaking audiences.

Topics covered include the welfare of farm animals in intensive vs alternative systems and sustainable diets. We commonly cover talks in biology, food technology, geography, PSHE and citizenship as well as general assemblies and school talks.

This service is free, though expenses are appreciated. This service is also available for youth groups of any age from 5-18.

A professional speaker service can be provided for colleges, universities and for selected international conferences.
