September is just around the corner… have you thought about booking School Speakers for the new term?
The start of a new academic year can be an intense and high-pressure time for students and education staff, so it’s important to focus on how we can support you through that time.
Make Life Kind Movement
Powered by Milk Education (a purpose-driven education supply agency), the Make Life Kind movement was created in partnership with our Milkfluencers AKA School Speakers, who are passionate about driving wellness, diversity and safety awareness into the education sector.
Mental Health, Identity, Disabilities, and other stigmatised topics are all major contributors to a students wellbeing. Our Milkfluencers cover these topics and can help support and educate in their areas, with an overall aim to create a happy, inclusive, safe and productive school environments.
The Milkfluencers
What is a Milkfluencer? How does it work, and why does your school need one?
Social media has become the lifeline for most teenagers and young people today. When used in the right ways social media can be positive and beneficial for today’s youth, but with such easy access to fame, anyone can get a job as an influencer, spreading their views and opinions on the world around us… often dangerous or negative.
So, how do you know that these views are ones you want the younger generation to grow up with? With toxic influencers like Andrew Tate rising to fame, sharing extremist views, often sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, and racist – young people are unable to differentiate ideas that may negatively impact their future decisions and opinions.
This is where the Make Life Kind movement comes in.
Positive Influencers for Young People
Our Milkfluencers advocate for kindness and equality through education, on a mission to tackle crime and radicalised or extremist ideas. Our School Speakers vary from Anti-drug Crime Ambassadors to Mental Health Coaches – aiming to cover every stigmatised topic in education.
Some of the topics we cover:
- Knife Crime
- Drug Crime
- LGBTQ2+ & Identity
- Mental Health
- Trauma
- Diversity & Inclusion
- Racism
- Neurodiversity
- Disabilities
- Creative Careers
Meet a few of our Speakers…

Booking our Make Life Kind School Speakers
