Wincy Chan, a previous MA Bursary holder, is a student at Anglia Ruskin Univversity and very kindly put on a concert to raise funds for ARU second year travel and therapy bursaries and The Music Therapy Charity. The concert featured works by Bach, Haydn and more. Click on the image above for a clip of her beautiful music.
Between 16th and 22nd June Helen walked the full 85 miles length of Hadrian’s Wall with her husband and sister. They had an amazing time and raised over £4,000 for the charity!
A small group of friends organised a sponsored walk, near where they live in France, in aid of The Music Therapy Charity. Together they’ve raised £1,836 so far and there are still a few donations trickling in. Many thanks to Viv, Deb, Nicola and Leaza and all your sponsors, plus Eric, Del, Laurent and Jérôme for the refreshments en route and the BBQ at the end. A lovely day and an amazing result!

Thank you to Ian De Massini who on October 25th generously performed a unique organ recital for The Music Therapy Charity, which dazzled the audience at Downing Place Cambridge.

The VoiceBox Choir, based in Oxfordshire, chose The Music Therapy Charity as their nominated Charity for 2025. They held a big concert in May, at St Mary’s Church in Witney, where they were joined by the German choir, ImTakt from Cologne. They raised almost £800 for us on that night alone! Thank you to all those in the VoiceBox Choir and ImTakt for your support.
A drama and theatre student at Box Hill School staged a ‘Night on Broadway’, where the students presented as characters from various musicals, performing their most iconic songs and engaging with the audience in a light-hearted and comedic way. They chose to raise funds at this event for The Music Therapy Charity because: “For me, I see music as such an important part of our lives. It’s ability to resonate and relieve mental, physical, and psychological issues for those who are struggling truly fascinates me—so when I heard of the work The Music Therapy Charity is doing, I felt that this charity was one I couldn’t refuse to support.” Huge thanks from us all at The Music Therapy Charity for your support and amazing succes – raising a phenomenal £1,357.50!
