Legends Global
In 2023, Nordoff and Robbins partnered with Legends Global, the world’s leading producer of entertainment experiences, venue management and event strategy. With a shared mission to make music therapy accessible to those who need it most, Legends Global and Nordoff and Robbins joined forces to raise vital funds to expand music therapy services to more children and adults across the UK. The partnership is also key in protecting current and future funding for music therapy delivery, education and research.
The three-year partnership has been working across Legends Global’s UK portfolio of venues including AO Arena Manchester, First Direct Arena Leeds, Utilita Arena Newcastle, OVO Arena Wembley, York Barbican and more. Since the partnership began, venue staff have experienced the power of music through music making workshops with Nordoff and Robbins Music Therapists and have felt inspired to fundraise within their venues.
In 2024, two brave teams took on the annual Music Mudder, organised by Wasserman Music in aid of Nordoff and Robbin, and won the trophy for most funds raised. Staff from Utilita Arena, Newcastle also took part in the Manchester Half Marathon and demontrated their commitment to sharing the power of music. September 2024 saw Legends Global’s first month of giving in aid of Nordoff and Robbins which included prize giveaways and increasing awareness across all venues.
