Looking to supercharge your career while making a real difference?
Join us for an inspiring Co.next talk with Voluntary Norfolk’s Nicky Stanton, who will share how volunteering can open doors, build valuable skills, and enhance your professional growth.
Whether you’re early in your career, considering a change, or want to expand your network, this Co.next workshop will show you how giving back can give you an edge in today’s job market.
Learn how volunteering can:
✅ Develop leadership and problem-solving skills ✅ Expand your professional network ✅ Strengthen your CV and interview impact ✅ Boost confidence and personal fulfilment
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain fresh insights and practical advice from someone who has experienced the career-transforming power of volunteering firsthand.
As someone who got into her chosen career, arts management, through volunteering and has worked alongside volunteers in many different contexts Nicky is a passionate advocate of the benefits of volunteering.
She firmly believes that if volunteering isn’t of mutual benefit to both organisation and volunteer, then it won’t endure. But that benefit takes many guises – making connections, gaining insights and increasing empathy, developing skills, knowledge and confidence, feeling a part of the community, having a greater sense of self-worth, making things happen, learning humility, having fun.
Since starting as an assistant at the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Nicky has helped set up and lead arts charities (including Norwich Arts Centre, Creative Arts East and The Company of Imagination) and social enterprise Waveney & Blyth Arts, as well as acting as a trustee, board member and school governor. She now focuses on developing and promoting volunteering across Norfolk for Voluntary Norfolk, itself a charity that engages with many volunteers.
