Flotsam Flo Talks: Inspiring Change Through Sustainability
As the founder of Flotsam Flo, I am thrilled to share my journey and passion for sustainability as a Guest Speaker. With a background in teaching and years of hands-on experience in transforming waste materials into beautiful, functional creations, I’ve found my true calling in educating and inspiring others. In 2024 alone, I had the privilege of delivering 25 talks across Cornwall, including to 20 Women's Institutes as well as Memory cafés, U3A meetings, craft groups and more. The response has been truly humbling, with one organisation even calling me "the best speaker they’ve ever had."
Through my talks, I aim to engage audiences in a conversation about the importance of sustainability, reducing waste and the incredible potential of upcycling. I discuss how each of us can contribute to positive environmental change by reimagining everyday materials—turning what would otherwise be discarded into something beautiful and useful. My personal journey of resilience, transformation, and creativity provides a powerful backdrop for encouraging others to take action, whether on an individual or community level.
This year, I already have booked 9 talks with the Women’s Institute and 6 with other community organisations, such as craft clubs and lunch groups. The interest continues to grow and I’m excited to connect with even more people who are eager to learn about sustainable living, practical upcycling ideas, and the importance of small actions in creating a bigger impact.
If you're looking for an engaging and inspiring speaker who combines personal stories with practical, actionable solutions, I would love to bring my message to your next event. Let’s collaborate to inspire positive change and make a lasting impact on our communities.
