Announcing our new partnership with LW Theatres
We’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with LW Theatres, which will run until 2028
About our partnership
Uniting performance with purpose in support of our life-changing music therapy services, LW Theatres has committed to raising awareness of our work in front of audiences across its globally renowned theatre portfolio, including The London Palladium, His Majesty’s Theatre and Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
Fundraising initiatives outlined in the partnership include point-of-sale donation prompts, QR code signage at shows, and dedicated messaging in programmes and on screens. In addition, 18 LW Theatres colleagues will be taking part in the 2026 Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for our work.
Money raised through the partnership will go towards helping us train the music therapists of the future, which costs us £19,000 per music therapist over two years.
The partnership’s impact aims to go beyond fundraising, with LW Theatres also providing accessible theatre experiences to our clients to see hit West End musicals including Matilda at the Cambridge Theatre.
A word from LW Theatres Co-CEO and Nordoff and Robbins Director of Fundraising
Jules Arnott, Co-CEO, LW Theatres, said: “I’ve seen first‑hand the extraordinary impact Nordoff and Robbins has through music therapy and it’s a privilege for LW Theatres to support their work. Music sits at the heart of what we do every day, so extending this partnership across our theatres, to our audiences and to our 900‑strong team, feels both natural and deeply meaningful. We’re incredibly proud to stand alongside such an inspiring charity and support their truly transformative work.”
Sandy Trappitt, Director of Fundraising, Nordoff and Robbins, said: “This powerful partnership with LW Theatres comes at a critical time for Nordoff and Robbins. We could nearly fill all of their theatres twice over with the people we supported with music therapy in the last year alone, but the demand for music therapy is increasing rapidly, and so are the costs of running our services. We are working hard to train future music therapists and make sure high-quality music therapy is a key part of health and social care services, so we’re incredibly grateful to LW Theatres for this much-needed support and opportunity to be seen by new audiences.”
