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

Next January I had intended to spend my customary few days at MIDEM in Cannes (the annual music industry conference) quaffing champagne on the Croisette and enjoying many earnest discussions about the industry’s various problems.

Instead I have decided to join a number of music industry colleagues in accepting the challenge of a demanding charity bike ride along the banks of the Nile from Aswan to Luxor in an effort to raise much needed funds for Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy (the music industry’s favoured charity) and Childline. Both charities carry out fantastic work in support of disadvantaged children (find out more at www.nordoff-robbins.org.uk and www.childline.org.uk)

All money raised will be divided equally between Nordoff Robbins and Childline. I have paid all of the costs associated with my participation in the ride so that every penny raised will go direct to the charities. I am pleased to announce that (thanks to the generosity of my partners) Lee and Thompson (find out more at www.leeandthompson.com ) has agreed to be my principal sponsor and has made a substantial donation to get my appeal underway.

Every donation, however small, will make a difference and will be greatly appreciated.

The ride takes place between 21^st and 25^th January 2010.

Please give generously!
