Nordoff Robbins, the UK’s largest music therapy organisation, have been chosen as the official charity partner for Young Voices 2016 - but they need you.
The people they work with suffer from a range of conditions such as autism, dementia, mental health problems, learning difficulties, as well as neurological disabilities
Young Voices combines the power of singing together as one, with accompaniment from a wide range of musicians and artists, to create an amazing performance and memorable musical experience for the audience and everyone involved.
To raise money for Nordoff Robbins they are in need of a number of enthusiastic volunteers to help them with bucket collections as guests leave the performances at The Manchester Arena.
Every year, schools across the country practise music in class with their teachers to prepare themselves to take part in a series of massive concerts. These concerts are like no other as 4,500 to 8,500 children perform to audiences full of family and friends.
Nordoff Robbins is a dedicated organisation transforming the lives of vulnerable and isolated people. The charity, currently celebrating its 40th year, delivers music therapy to people of all ages living in many different and challenging circumstances.
The people they work with suffer from a range of conditions such as autism, dementia, mental health problems, learning difficulties, as well as neurological disabilities.
The organisation doesn’t receive any government funding and relies purely on the generosity of individuals and companies to continue its life-transforming work and support even more people.
Concerts dates taking place at The Manchester Arena are as follows: Monday 29th February, Tuesday 1st March, Wednesday 2nd March, Thursday 3rd March
