Sound Therapy

 Welcome to Julia and Michaela, our new employees at the Music Gym.

For regular visitors, who think they look familiar, you’re right. Julia and Michaela started with us over a year ago, as volunteers, but as of last Friday they’re now employees of Decoda.

They’ll carry on their previous jobs - Julia as receptionist and Michaela as activities facilitator. Michaela is also spending time helping to set up the Gym before the first visitors arrive.

The bonus is that we have now have funding from the local Learning Disabilities Development Fund to promote the benefits of employing people with learning disabilities as well as for adding value to their work experience by providing easy-read job descriptions and Health and Safety training geared to their needs. Breakout Media will also be making a film of the work Julia and Michaela do, how they feel about having a job, and why we value them so much as members of our team.
