from Sellafield to the smallest of start-up
social enterprises. Every organisation has the ability to reflect on and grow
its creation of social value no matter how much resource it can bring to play.
I keep up my voluntary commitments and continue
to run a small SocEnt delivering childcare. I also work as a Trustee at Cumbria
Law Centre and am endlessly inspired by the work they do to give a voice to
those disempowered by life, circumstance, systems and power. I encourage
everyone to find a way to give a little of their personal & professional
expertise to a cause they believe in. The Law Centre itself is always keen to
expand its skills base within the Trustee Board so do contact me if you’d like
to know more. (I also work every day with organisations in need of governance
support!)
“Nicola is a very valuable and effective member
of our trustee board. She really understands the particular challenges faced by
small charities like ours and is experienced in so many key areas from
fundraising to working with vulnerable client groups. She has a very supportive
and encouraging style, which we greatly appreciate as managers and staff.”
