What is My Maiden Speech?

My Maiden Speech is a programme designed with one goal in mind; to ensure that voices of young people are heard on the subjects that matter to them.

15 young people with lived experience of the issues that matter most to young people will embark on a journey leading them to the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to speak out in the Houses of Parliament.

Each young person taking part will be nominated by a UK charity that works with young people. This will both raise the profile of the charity and the stories and experiences of the young people that they have supported.

‘My Maiden Speech is a critical stepping stone for young people to express their thoughts and be heard. I cannot thank AYPH, and Speakers Trust enough for helping me on this journey where I have learnt to use my voice to speak on behalf of thousands of young people in the UK and across the globe.’
