Guest Speaker

Building on the success of last year’s event, we are thrilled to reveal that this year’s Annual Lunch guest speaker will be comedian, writer, and presenter Sara Pascoe.

A staple of British television and comedy, Sara has captivated audiences across stage and screen.

Known for her intelligent humour and distinctive voice, she is one of the UK’s most original creative talents. Her ability to explore complex themes around identity, modern life and personal growth with warmth and wit ensures audiences leave both entertained and genuinely inspired.

We look forward to having her at the event!
