On Site Training

For each new SPEAK group which sets up, someone from the Network Support Team will give on site training for that group. This just involves some basic help and ideas of how to maintain and develop a campaign and prayer group. We can also do additional training for specific areas you feel you need help with. As soon as you feel that you have something resembling a group together, then please feel free to contact us to arrange the on site training and support.

Continual Training

Others involved in SPEAK Network are prepared to give additional training to your groups. These include topics varying from justice in world trade or world debt, to the practicalities of running a group. We want to be able to give each group some training at least once a year and are happy to visit you more if you want.

To find out more about SPEAK Speakers, please email the London office.

Advice and Help

The Network Support Team are always available to give help and advice if you feel like having a chat about anything, do get in contact. Your Regional Support Workers have the specific role of supporting you and what your group is doing. Please feel free to contact them at any time with thoughts or questions.

Keep Us Informed

It is great to keep in contact with each other as a network, so please keep us in touch with how it is going. We want each SPEAK group to have space to tell the rest of the Network what they are doing so it would be great if you could keep e-mailing us updates and prayer requests about what your group is doing on a regular basis. Photos of things you are doing is also great for the web site. It would also be great if you could forward us a contact e-mail for someone from your group to be responsible for keeping your groups pages up to date! See the groups currently using our networking map here. If you have a local SPEAK website or email loop (E.g. Glasgow), please let us know the address so we can put a link in from the SPEAK site to your group's site.

Prayer Support

If you ever have any prayer support requests then please e-mail the Network Support Office. There is a monthly prayer email sent out by the Prayer Petal team from Flower Model. We aim to cover all the groups in prayer every week so we like to be kept informed.

Please also visit the Facebook group, linked at the bottom of the page, to befriend others and post conversation topics.

Network Support

We are trying to encourage more people to find ways that their SPEAK groups can all support each other. If there is a SPEAK group near you then it would be great if you could build up your own links with them and to try to encourage each others across the network.
