Next Steps

Next Steps is a Cambridge Community Arts project that enables us to provide one to one coaching and support to access training, education, volunteering, and employment opportunities for our community members.

Responding to the community’s need we are in the process of relaunching our Next Steps project. More to follow soon!

“I just needed someone to talk to who would offer advice, support and listen without judgement, so I can build the confidence to know I am moving in the right direction. This is what the project does.”
"Christine helped me practice some mock interview questions before the interview. And I got the job as a Barista in a busy city centre coffee shop! It has been a real pleasure working with Next Steps and Cambridge Community Arts. Their support and guidance have changed my outlook on life and social situation."

Nick
"I was supported by Christine in one-to-one meetings with online job applications and writing my CV."

Joe
"I am very grateful for this personal and optimistic support. I feel validated, heard and inspired."

Dawn
"Without the help of the project I wouldn't have been able to do all of this. With the help of regular meetings I feel I have really achieved something."

Emma Louise
"The project has been very supportive and patient with my needs."

Becky
"I have a much clearer understanding of my skill set and core beliefs, how they fit with the many roles in my life and how to best continue developing."
"I have made new friends through all my art creation and selling endeavours, and my relative success has earned me the respect of people who before only knew me as being ill and incapable. Thanks to CCA art courses and Next Steps I now have a new identity and a more positive confident outlook on life."
