Over years of working with the Local Authority helping at risk youth, Simon saw that interventions worked best when the young people felt like they had a say in the programme, when they felt included in the creation of the interventions rather than a subject of them, and when the focus was taken away from ‘what was wrong’ in their lives and instead showcased what they were doing well. This experience, in addition to his extensive experience as a professional musician with a specialism in music tech, led to the creation of Noise Solutions face-to-face programmes which remain at the core of Noise Solutions delivery.
