Donations – Northern Music Award

After fleeing his home country, Samir was completely alone when he arrived in the UK.

Attending Music therapy at Asylum Link Merseyside helped re-build his confidence, improved his mental health, and helped him to be part of the local music community.

The Northern Music Awards will help us to expand our essential music therapy services in the North of England, and ensure that people like Samir can access from the transformative power of music.

I have seen for myself how Nordoff and Robbins’ trained music therapists are able to harness the power of music to evoke different responses in people – for many, this can give them a sense of calm or joy, and an ability to connect with others through musical melodies and lyrics. It is so important that funds raised from the Northern Music Awards will go towards providing essential music therapy to people, right here in the North, who need it most.
