Why support Nordoff Robbins
"Music can define our moments. It can make us laugh, it can make us cry, it can make us glad to be alive. It can reach us in a way that nothing else can. Music can transfrm lives."
The many thousands of children and adults Nordoff Robbins supports live each day with some of the most debilitating, restricting and distressing illnesses and conditions. Music is often the only way they can show emotion, express themselves, communicate and engage with others and music therapy can have a profound impact on the individual, their families and all those around them.

- Provide over 50,000 music therapy sessions a year
- Train the music therapists of the future
- Run short courses for health and social care professionals, teachers and musicians

You can help children like Mia...
At 3 years old Mia had many health and developmental problems, she couldn’t walk independently and spoke only twelve words. She was afraid of other children coming too close and of noise. Her future looked grim. In individual and group music therapy, Mia blossomed. “Music party”, as she called it, gave her a way to connect with others through the joy of making music. She became animated and confident and was soon walking independently, speaking in sentences, talking to other children and expressing affection to her family for the first time.
Mia’s mum says: “Astonishing changes have taken place. We have seen Mia’s world open up, as have my husband’s and mine. Music therapy has the power to change lives.”
Get involved today and together we can transform the lives of thousands of vulnerable people like Mia. Thank you.
