Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!  I’m running the Manchester Marathon on 10th October to raise money for the music therapy charity, Nordoff Robbins. 

Those who know me will be aware how important this charity is to me. As a practising Nordoff Robbins music therapist, I see the impact music therapy can have on those who need it most. Our radical approach sees the potential in our clients, working with what they CAN do, no matter their disability, illness or life circumstance. 

Whether that be developing the social communication of a child with autism, providing meaningful and social creative opportunities for isolated adults with mental health difficulties, or unlocking memories and providing space to feel orientated in time and place for someone with dementia; music can reach anybody, no matter their situation. Nordoff robbins music therapists work with a range of individuals/ groups and in settings such as hospices, care homes, hospitals, special schools, rehab centres, refugee centres, domestic abuse charities and neurological rehabilitation centres. Our work is varied, but with music always at its core. 

Connecting through music is a crucial part of our human experience.  Your donations will help support us in providing music therapy services for communities that need us most. 

I really appreciate you taking the time to read this. If you want to have a look at our website to find out more about the charity then please do!
