TH secures employment through the Academy Living initiative

Yesterday, we celebrated a massive achievement for Academy Living and for one of our amazing individuals, TH. TH started his first shift yesterday at Murray’s restaurant in Bargoed as a waiter. It has been a dream for TH and his family for him to gain employment, as TH has "always wanted to be like his older brother".

We are so proud of the effort from our Academy living team in sourcing employment for TH and many others this year. It’s been incredible to see the work ethic of our individuals too, who have been working hard to build their portfolios to be able to secure employment in the community.

Our focus this year in Academy Living has been on breaking down barriers that people with learning disabilities face within employment. The support TH received from the kind and respectful team at Murray's restaurant was simply outstanding.

Thank you, Murray’s, for helping TH achieve one of his lifelong goals and making him feel confident and happy.
