I speak to a wide range of audiences: primary and secondary schools; colleges and universities; corporate conferences and away days; charities and organisations; cruise ships; hotels and historic houses. I am also a facilitator for conferences and seminars.

I founded the Anne Frank Trust UK in 1990 along with family and friends of Mr Otto Frank, Anne’s father. The Trust has used Anne's life and inspirational message to educate people about the damage caused by all forms of prejudice and discrimination and works with young people in schools, communities and prisons across the United Kingdom imbuing in them the importance of positive attitudes, personal responsibility and respect for others.  Read more
