HOUSEWIFE Felicity Carver has launched a unique website to help all types of local clubs and societies find guest speakers in their locality.

Many community groups, including those in West Devon, invite local speakers to their meetings, but finding new people is a difficult and time consuming task.

'There are plenty of websites offering expensive celebrity speakers, but nothing to find local people who speak for a nominal fee or for free,' said Felicity.

'Most community groups like Mothers Union, WI, Probus, youth clubs and special interest groups like gardening and photographic clubs, have the same problem. 

'Although there are more than 250,000 groups in the UK and over 55,000 speakers, there was no "one-stop" way of finding each other. 

'So with the help of Daniel Pavey at East Devon IT, I developed the only website that connects local groups and speakers.'

Speakers on any subject, presenters, demonstrators or performers, and any type of community group can join.
