The Association of Speakers Clubs is inclusive for all, and people join for a variety of reasons. People can come and prepare themselves for presentations or wedding speeches, to help with promotion opportunities and work development, and some come just because they enjoy the evenings so much. Whatever your reason or your level of speaking to an audience, Newark and Lincoln speakers’ clubs are the place to come. 

Our first aim is to give you the confidence to stand and speak to an audience and then help with your speaking techniques. There is no pressure but loads of encouragement, constructive feedback and praise in a warm welcoming environment.  

In the North Midlands Area, we have five clubs with nine meetings a month and as well as in person meetings, The Lincoln Speakers Club also meet once a month online as it so important in this modern world to be able communicate effectively to a screen.

Their dedicated volunteers are the driving force behind the regular litter picks that keep the River Witham, as it meanders through Grantham, cleaner and healthier. Their activities go beyond litter collection, and they now actively participate in the global Fresh Water Watch project, meticulously monitoring the river’s health through water quality testing, including the measurement of crucial nitrate and phosphate levels. 

Grantham RiverCare maintains a strong community presence and their long-standing dedication has been acknowledged, most notably with the prestigious BBC Radio Lincolnshire ‘Green Champion’ Make A Difference Award in 2021. They warmly invite you to come and chat with our friendly volunteers to discover more about Grantham RiverCare and the impactful work they do to protect and cherish our local River Witham.
