Transform sustainability initiatives with Sophie Hellyer, speaker and environmental advocate. Sophie works with organisations to promote ocean conservation, inclusive culture, and ethical practices, delivering impactful insights featured in The Independent and GQ Magazine.
Sophie Hellyer, a native of Devon, first made a name for herself as a talented surfer at a national level during her teenage years. However, as her career progressed, she focused on fostering a more diverse and inclusive surfing culture. Alongside this, she became a prominent advocate for ocean pollution and sustainability.
Sophie's unwavering honesty and outspoken nature led her to deliver a TEDx talk on sustainability in 2018. In addition, she has written extensively on feminist and environmental issues, including topics such as plastic-free periods, ethical fashion, and flight shame. Her work has been featured in prestigious publications like The Independent and GQ Magazine.
To further support women, Sophie founded the #RiseFierce collective to inspire them to try cold-water swimming. Through hosting retreats and events, she hopes to create a community of like-minded women who promote positivity, mindfulness, and meaningful change in society.
Sophie brings a unique blend of professional athleticism, environmental advocacy, and feminist insight to the table, offering a fresh and impactful perspective on sustainability and inclusivity. Her experience in fostering diverse communities and her engaging storytelling ability can inspire your team or business to embrace meaningful change. Booking Sophie as a speaker will not only enlighten your audience on critical global issues but also motivate them to take actionable steps towards a more sustainable and equitable future.
