Join Sonia Allen as she shares the inspiring work of All Hands and Hearts, an international non-profit dedicated to helping communities recover from natural disasters through volunteer-powered projects. This presentation takes you inside our recovery programmes in Nepal, the Philippines, and Mexico, where we are rebuilding safe, resilient schools for children affected by earthquakes, typhoons, and hurricanes.
Through powerful stories, on-the-ground photos, and first-hand accounts, Sonia will showcase how skilled volunteers and local communities come together to create lasting change — restoring education, fostering resilience, and bringing hope to the next generation.
Discover how your support can transform disaster-affected areas into thriving learning environments, and be part of a global movement that proves: together, we can rebuild not just schools, but futures.

Bright mind, bold heart, I am the kind of woman who rolls up her sleeves and makes things better, wherever I go. From global volunteering adventures to local impact, I would like to say I bring energy, empathy, and no-nonsense smartness to every project I work on.
Professionally, I am a skilled education consultant, recognised for sharp thinking, calm leadership, and ability to accomplish tasks with grace and grit. At other times, I am off making magic happen through international volunteering, community mentoring, and advocacy work.
I am a cancer survivor, a foster carer, personal trainer and an ambassador for International disaster relief organisation 'All Hands and Hearts UK Trust.'
Public speaking is something I have done throughout my working careers', yes careers and never one to be 'lost for words'. I can tailor my speeches to meet the audiences needs:
"A magnetic role model with a wicked sense of humour, Sonia leads with purpose, gives generously, and leaves people (and places) better than she found them."
Smart. Sassy. Seriously inspiring.
