Celebrating 35 years of our incredible partnership with The BRIT Trust

Celebrating 35 years of our incredible partnership with The BRIT Trust

We’re honoured to mark over three decades of music-making together with The BRIT Trust.

Established in 1989 with the help of British record labels and the British Phonographic Industry, The BRIT Trust has become one of our most valued supporters. Since our partnership began, £9.2m has been donated, which has enabled us to deliver over 250,000 music therapy sessions, transforming the lives of almost 100,000 vulnerable children and adults.

Following their creation, a historic concert at Knebworth House in 1990 featuring that year’s Silver Clef Award winners was set up for the benefit of the BRIT Trust. The concert featured unforgettable performances from some of the world’s biggest artists including Elton John, Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton and has become an important juncture in our shared history. The proceeds of this event went on to fund the Nordoff and Robbins London Music Therapy Centre, as well as the establishment of the world-famous BRIT School in Croydon.

The unwavering commitment from the BRIT Trust has had an incredible impact on vulnerable people across the country and we look forward to continuing to work together in our shared vision of transforming lives through the power of music.
