The Speech Heroes is not just a brand. It is a movement. And that movement starts in the places where children learn, play and grow. Here is a look at some of the incredible events and visits we have been part of so far.
Rishi visited St Johns Primary School in Wolverhampton for a very special Speech Heroes workshop. The children enjoyed a live reading of The Speech Heroes Vs. The Word Stoppers, bringing the characters to life right in front of them. To top it off, the children were set an exciting competition to design their very own Speech Heroes character, with prizes up for grabs for the most creative entries. The energy, imagination and enthusiasm in that room was absolutely incredible.
The Speech Heroes headed to West Bromwich Central Library for an author visit and workshop, giving young readers the chance to meet the story behind the book. It was a wonderful afternoon of storytelling, creativity and connection, reminding every child in that room that their voice matters and their imagination has no limits.
We would love to come to you. Whether you are a school, library, community group, or event organiser, we bring energy, creativity, and a powerful message that children and families will never forget.
