Bold Voices Society

What Bold Voices Society does

Bold Voices Society (legal entity: BOLD VOICES CIC) is a UK-based social enterprise structured as a Community Interest Company, founded in 2018 and headquartered in London. The organisation delivers educational programmes on gender inequality and gender-based violence to UK schools and universities through a layered product suite. Core in-person and virtual offerings include Keynote Talks (delivered to year groups of up to 200 pupils), facilitated Workshops (up to 35 pupils per session), Deep Dive follow-up sessions on Language or Digital themes, and Mentor Workshops that train Year 12 & 13 students as gender equality ambassadors. The technology stack is non-technical: the organisation relies on facilitator-led delivery, a website built on Squarespace, Calendly for booking, and downloadable PDF resources rather than any proprietary software platform.

The business model combines three revenue streams: (1) fee-based delivery of workshops, talks, and training sessions to schools and universities booked via enquiry forms; (2) one-time digital resource sales through an online shop (e.g., '16 Cards for 16 Days' conversation cards at £5); and (3) donations and fundraising. Workshop and talk pricing are not publicly disclosed. Customer segments are UK primary and secondary schools, university students, and teachers/parents. Distribution is direct-to-school via web enquiry and Calendly, supplemented by a Student Ambassador Programme, awareness campaign participation (International Women's Day, 16 Days of Activism), and event presence such as EducationFest at Wellington College. The organisation is founder-led by Natasha Eeles, operates with 1-10 employees, and has no disclosed institutional funding or venture capital backing.
