Sound Vision launched in 2017, since then we have been building capacity across Somerset and Greater London, and our trainee numbers are steadily growing year after year.
In Sound Academy and Sound Music, we work closely with our trainees to assess their progression paths so that we can continually improve our programmes. Trainees influence the development of our training by sharing their experiences through feedback, which we collect regularly.
Where appropriate, we stay in touch to find out how they used their newfound skills and reinvigorated self-belief to progress.
‘I’m still anxious but I’ve definitely had my confidence boosted. I can even dance in front of people now, and I talk to more people. I no longer need to go to ‘Off The Record’ (mental health support for young people).

We have cultivated a culture of collaboration and compassion, and our trainees often wish to pay it forward. They have gone on to become mentors, volunteer with us and in one case a Trustee on our Board.
We are proud that, thanks to their enhanced confidence, some of our trainees are willing to share their stories to inspire others.
To truly gauge the impact our work has, we suggest learning more about our trainees from their stories below. They showcase everything from improved confidence, to achieving aspirations such as securing a job, gaining independence, making new friends or being part of a community.
