Soundcheck is the SPEAK Network’s annual gathering. In a fantastic creative venue in East London, we play host to an exciting and inspiring selection of workshops, talks and live music. Chilling out in our cafe, you will encounter a diverse community of individuals hoping to change the world, and have an opportunity to discuss and discover what the Christian faith has to do with justice. Here are some photos from last year for you to get an idea.
We’d love for anyone who wants to be at Soundcheck to be able to come, and realise that the cost may be a hindrance to some. If you can't manage these prices please do get in touch with us at speak@speak.org.uk to arrange a discounted ticket. You can go ahead and register your place via the website right away, but then contact us before making a payment.
Please note, if you are a supporter of one of our support raising staff you are entitled to free entry.
