Sound Voices

Helping Primary School children ensure that they arrive at Secondary School fit for the next stage of their educational journey. This involves our qualified trainer taking children outside a classroom environment to explore their creativity as a pathway to building resilience.

This is for small groups from Years 5 and 6 and has a social and mental health focus.

We work with local schools that identify students, typically Years 8 – 10. Early Interventions (EI) provides a meaningful learning experience for students who are not thriving in a traditional classroom environment. Helping those with social and emotional mental health needs to learn strategies and communication tools through the use of multi-media skills to be able to rebuild their resilience.

Trainees develop confidence, collaboration and communication skills that will keep them progressing in education. We often find our programmes result in improved behaviour, attendance and engagement with schools.

Sound Vision’s services are unique, as once EI is complete we offer progressive pathways through our Community Reporters program. Our young people also have the opportunity for their work to be broadcast on local radio through our partnerships.

Sound Voices offers customised learning for 15-25-year-olds of all abilities in a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.

Pathway to Employment focuses on employability and helps young job seekers develop their workplace skills and become work ready. We use a mix of workshops, mentoring, traineeships and work placements to hone interview skills, CV crafting, proficiency with LinkedIn and confidence in the workplace. For some young people this is their first time in a working environment. Our friendly team of trainers and mentors help those leaving education get ‘work ready’ and make the transition to employment easier.
