Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy is the UK's largest specialist music therapy charity, providing over 35,000 therapy sessions a year through its National Centre in London and over 64 projects nationwide. It also runs postgraduate training programmes in music therapy and a research programme with regular public courses and conferences.

Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy uses musical co-improvisation to help improve the quality of life for children and adults isolated by conditions such as learning disabilities, autism, mental health problems, neurological damage or serious and terminal illness. It receives no statutory funding and needs to raise almost £3m a year to operate.
