As featured in previous episodes, Volunteer to Career is a fantastic enhanced volunteering experience. Volunteers have the chance to gain first hand experience in a health and care setting, receive career mentoring and make a difference at the same time.

In this episode we hear first hand from two people what it was like to get involved with Volunteer to Career. Ginette took part as a volunteer, and shares why she signed up and the value it offered. And we meet Laura Holder, the Practice Manager at Ludham and Stalham Green Surgeries who set up the programme that Ginette participated in.

In the final episode of season one of Volunteering Discovery we are getting creative and meeting the team who support people to Drop in and Draw with the Norfolk Library and Information Service. We hear why the sessions provide much more than a space for artistic endeavours. Volunteer Alison shares why her creative skills aren't the only ones she puts to good use in the group. And Katherine explains why libraries are the perfect place for sessions like Drop in and Draw.
