THE CHARITY
WHO ARE
NORDOFF AND ROBBINS?
We are the UK’s largest music therapy charity. It started with two pioneers called Paul Nordoff and Clive Robbins helping children with profound learning difficulties to connect and communicate through music.
Today, informed by more than 60 years of practice and research, our music therapists work with people of all ages living with conditions such as dementia or acquired brain injuries to break through the barriers that can cause social isolation.
The impact of our work for people and society can be truly transformative.
