Lynsey's story

Lynsey first joined as a volunteer having worked as a professional musician with the Halle Orchestra and then completed a speech and language therapy course at Manchester Metropolitan University.

She quickly realised that her musical skills could be applied to speech and language therapy and when she met Seashell staff at the Autism Show in Manchester she decided to apply to volunteer.  She loved the Seashell family and so when a position became available for a speech and language therapist, she jumped at the chance.

She now supports Seashell’s children and young people using her skills from her 20-year long musical career and her speech and language therapy skills and qualification.

Lynsey said ”I knew from volunteering that Seashell was a well-regarded centre of excellent practice and I would learn so much – I really felt at home in the team and I love the way that the therapy is embedded across the curriculum and in the school, college and residences.”
