The Spellbound Launch
The Courage to Begin, Spellbound's official launch event, was held on Monday 29th June 2026 in partnership with Marisa Hall and the Thinking Ahead Institute.
For those ready to be heard.
Spellbound is a not-for-profit organisation teaching the art of public speaking, with free courses for young people and those of limited means. Programmes are built around one simple idea: everyone has a story worth telling. We provide the tools, space and supportive community you need to find your voice and use it with confidence. Because the world doesn’t need more polished speakers; it needs authentic voices saying what truly matters. This is for anyone who has ever felt unheard.
From 2012, our programmes were offered free of charge. In 2026, we introduced a small fee to sustain the programmes.

"Spellbound unlocks your voice. And when you have your voice, you can bring your ambitions and dreams to reality. That is the barrier to entry, and once you cross it, everything changes."
Jamarly Wright, founder of Plantain Papi, shares how Spellbound helped him discover and refine his voice, articulate a bold vision, and catapult his plant-based venture into London's bustling food scene. Jamarly explains how the three-week transformative journey, unlocked confidence, storytelling, and practical tools that continue to drive his business growth.
