Book a Chat & Get Advice and Support

Looking for new opportunities, need support with a personal project, or just after some advice?

Book a quick chat with the RicNic team to get unstuck, ask questions, or explore your next steps. We can help with everything from career planning and freelancing to opportunity-hunting, CV reviews, and more.

“I left the session feeling both inspired and much clearer about how to move forward”

Our team brings a wealth of experience in event and theatre production, new writing development, and creative careers; and we’re connected to a broad network of industry professionals ready to offer shadowing, mentoring, or a helpful chat. Using proven coaching techniques, we’ll help you clarify your goals, find answers, and leave the session with a clear set of actions; plus our practical advice along the way.

“It was reassuring and exciting to see how my long-term ambitions can be approached strategically rather than feeling overwhelming.”

From 2026, sessions will cost £10 for a 30-45 minute chat, plus follow-up resources and signposting.

Sessions are free for:

• Anyone based within our target areas of Walsall, Burton on Trent, or surrounding areas
• Anyone aged under 18
• Anybody for whom cost would be a barrier to access

Chats are subject to staffing availability and capacity, with a limited quota per month.
