Announcing the cancellation of the Nordoff Robbins O2 Silver Clef Awards 2021

Our largest annual fundraising event is one of the highlights of the music industry calendar and raises vital funds to support vulnerable and isolated people through music therapy.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, our fundraising income has been decimated

Nordoff Robbins is the largest music therapy charity in the UK. Like many other charities, we continue to be severely impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic. As well as the O2 Silver Clef Awards, many of our other fundraising events and activities have had to be cancelled or postponed again this year – meaning we are still expecting a shortfall of 50% of our fundraising income in 2021.

Nordoff Robbins receives no Government funding and relies solely on the generosity of our supporters

Now more than ever, music therapy is a lifeline for the vulnerable people our charity supports. We are committed to our mission and, thanks to our supporters, we have been able to continue to deliver music therapy where possible throughout 2020 and 2021, whilst also exploring our online reach.

Thank you to our supporters – whether it be through a corporate donation, taking part in a challenge event, or sharing the word of our work on socials, every moment of support has helped us. For this we are very grateful, as it means that many people have been able to benefit from music therapy during these challenging times.
