Next Stage Project
Giving Members the confidence to stand in the spotlight!!!
Members can now fulfill lifelong ambitions through a project called ‘Next Stage’. This exciting new project gives members individual time and support to stand in the spotlight and show off their talents to other people. This can be a presentation, talk, act, show, exhibition or demonstration. Whether it be about their job, funny things that have happened to them, their day to day experiences, a musical talent or sharing their knowledge on a subject, everyone has something of value that they can share and that other people will find helpful, interesting or entertaining!

"Nobody believed I could ever do magic. But thanks to you, I have proved them wrong and it's a good feeling"
Tony (Next Stage participant)

It doesn’t matter how much experience they have, everyone has a skill or talent which they can let others know about. So far, one member has performed a magic show with other professional magicians in front of a live, paying audience. Another member put together an exhibition of their artwork (see below) and showed it all over Nottingham. Another member put together a presentation about people who stammer. It doesn't matter what it is, its the doing it that counts.

“Art is in my genes. I want to show disabled people what can be done with art on a computer”
Simon (Next Stage participant)
