Meet the Team
Known as the Chain Gang, our team of employees with learning disabilities put their skills and talents to work in creating everything we make and do. They work one day a week and are paid a fair and proper wage. At the moment, 3 lovely ladies from Hackney make up the team - Lindy, Sylvia and Doris. They're supported at work by Magda and Carole from Hackney Recruitment Partnership.
Sylvia is from Hackney. She's married to James. She has one brother and 3 sisters. Her favourite food is chicken, and she likes cooking but James does all the baking in her house! She used to work in Wood Green Training Centre in the canteen, but now she's really happy working on the Chain Gang. If you have 2 minutes, watch her video!

Lindy is originally from South Africa and she moved to from Hackney a couple of years ago. She has one brother and 1 sister. Lindy makes excellent waffles and she talks a lot of waffle too... She is the best little tag maker ever to work on the Chain Gang. Do watch her video to get the big picture!
