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.
Our engagement groups represent local businesses in the community, to connect, support, and give voice to every business in Norfolk.
As well as having the opportunity to discuss key topics, you’ll also be able to network with fellow businesses.
Our aim is to have groups in many cities, towns, market towns, and villages across Norfolk, to connect, support, and give voice to every business in Norfolk. These groups are accessible to all businesses, whether you are a Chambers member or a non-member.
These groups will provide you with a platform to debate issues that are most important to you, and your business and the Chamber network will lobby and influence on your behalf, using our dedicated team, our website, social media channels, and our digital platform.
Your feedback will be used by our team and the Chamber’s Board to help shape the strategic direction of Norfolk Chambers to ensure we can truly be the voice of Norfolk businesses.
Whether the local challenge is skills, road, rail, digital infrastructure, recruitment, or the rising costs of doing business, we want to hear from you.

We’ll keep you busy throughout the morning with plenty of networking activities and a talk from our guest speaker. This event will focus on how active working and interior design can change your wellbeing at work.
Event Topic:
The average person now sits for roughly 10 hours a day, this sedentary lifestyle plays a big part in contributing towards the UK’s obesity epidemic. Our guest speaker Floyd Sayers from Flomotion believes that to do our best we need to feel good and that means focusing on the body and mind, leading to more productivity, engagement and improved health and wellbeing. Flomotion will share their knowledge and expertise around sit-stand desks, active seating and accessories. Alongside their health and wellbeing initiatives promoting movement, exercise, stretching, breathing and mindfulness. Floyd will also be joined by Louise Ives-Wilkinson. She will give an introduction to Biophilic Design, the benefits and how it can be incorporated into homes and workplaces to have a positive and lasting effect in the end users.
I’ve spent over 20 years in the creative Industries based in London, working in graphic design, photography, packaging, product development and art direction. Seadragon Publishing a card, stationery and gift company evolved after our move to Norwich 12 years ago. For the past 3 years we have been promoting active working through Flomotion.
Louise is an award winning interior designer on a mission to improve people’s lives through interior design. While taking time out from designing to raise her family, Louise fell ill from post natal depression and anxiety. During the time spent battling these illnesses Louise realised the huge impact your internal environment can have on your health and well being. When starting to research deeper into the field, her studies led her to Biophilic design. Starting with her home, she set about creating a sanctuary which would help reduce her depression, lower her stress levels and increase her sense of well being. After her recovery and realisation of the growing mental health crisis, Louise identified a way to help others through interior design. She changed the focus of her design business to incorporate proven design methodology to create a holistic approach to interior spaces.
