Nordoff and Robbins

Nordoff Robbins is the UK's leading independent music therapy charity, dedicated to changing the lives of vulnerable and isolated people. We support thousands of people each year by working in partnership with schools, day centres, care homes, refugee centres, hospitals, hospices and mental health units, as well as at our open access centres and through community centres – where we provide music therapy services for free, ensuring our life-changing work reaches those who need it most. Music therapy can help a child with autism to communicate, reduce anxiety for a person living with dementia or provide comfort for someone facing a terminal illness. In 2018 we reached more people in more places than ever before, delivering music therapy to 10,269 vulnerable and isolated people, with 37,260 music therapy sessions.
