Raising money for

Nordoff Robbins (UK)

Charity Registration No. 280960

Play, dance or sing - everyone responds to music. Music has a unique power to reach deep inside us. Nordoff Robbins harnesses music - with all its emotion, energy, resonance and rhythm - to reach children and adults whose lives are constrained by illness, disability, trauma or exclusion. For over 50 years the work pioneered by Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins has set a benchmark in the use of music to promote health and wellbeing. We provide and support a range of services that encompass the depth and breadth of music, encompassing music therapy, music and health projects, and community music projects.

Nordoff Robbins supporters are behind every life changing experience in music that we enable. The financial support people give us means we can harness music to reach and transform the lives of children and adults all over the UK who are constrained by illness, disability, trauma or exclusion. We receive no statutory funding and are heavily reliant on voluntary donations to deliver 34,000 sessions every year - in schools, day centres, hospitals, and care homes across the UK, and in our Centre and Units. Every one of these sessions helps to transform someone's life.

My story

Dear Friend

the time comes in ones life when you have to get your freinds involved with a little financial help.

well that time has arrived!

so dig deep and please help me to give a little back to 2 fabulous charities.

Nordoff robbins Music Therapy and Child Line.

I am embarking in January 2010 on an epic 100 mile cycle ride along the nile with rod smallwood and a 58 strong crew of minders/fellow charity bikers.

If you could see you way to help it would be wonderfull.

The target i hope to raise is a minimum of £15,000

any money raised from donations will be 100% donated 50/50 between both charities.

the cost of the actual trip will be 100% my own cost.

please give generously.

best regards

Barry
