Week 35 - Nordoff Robbins

I was having so much fun on my birthday that I forgot my donation!  I'm a huge music fan so I've chosen the Nordoff Robbins.  They use music therapy to help people with a range of problems such as autism, mental issues, dementia, depression, stroke and life-threatening conditions like cancer.  They work in care homes, day centres, hospitals, schools and their own centres.  As well as improving physical ability their therapies use music to improve mental and emotional wellbeing and assist with communication skills.

Nordoff Robbins also train music therapists, from short courses and workshops right up to Masters level.  Their extensive research into the benefits of music therapy is at the heart of the work begun by Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins back in 1959.
