"Muslc thernpy saved my daughter's Ille"
Ruby is 17 years old. She has an amazing sense of humour. and loves to bake, listen to music
and play her bass. She is 81so autistic and has ADHD. and lives with a complexity of mental
health issues. In 2022. life became unbearable for Ruby. And at only 14 years old. she was
sectioned under the Mental Health Act due to suicide attempts. self-harm and unpredictable
behaviour. She then spenl the next six months in a hospital 80 miles from home.
Ruby found comfort in musie
The hospital environment wa$ very unpredirtable. so Ruby found comfort listening to music
with her earphones to help block out the sounds. She watched Eurovision. where previou5
winner Maneskin performed as part of the final. Ruby immediately connected with their bassist,
and soon the love for a new band and their music took hold. It was clearthat music was having
a positive effect on her. so her parents l)ought her a bass and she began to teach herself to play.
After being discharged from hospital. life wasn't easy for Ruby. and She was still very unwell. The
therapy offered to her didn't seem to be working and she also found it hard to trust those who
were tryingto supporl her. She returned to hospital more than once due to continuing suicide
attempts.
And then came music ther8Py...
Ruby's mum, Bev. refefred hefto music therapy with Nordoff and Robbins. She hadn't heard of
music therapy before but Temembered an article her husband had sent her about our Carol
Coneert and our music therapy Work. Bev met with one of our music therapists and explained
that nothing seemed to be helping Ruby.
Ruby began a weekly session with one of our music therapists. Jered. Music therapy provided
her Nwth a safe space, free from the pressure of a clinical environment and supported by Jered.
Ruby always wanted to go to music therapy and would leave the sessions calmer and happier.
Music therapy helped Ruby start to bebeve in herself. Now. she continues to grow her skiiL5 on
the bass, supported by 8 local recording studio who provide a space foryoune people to
develop their musical 18lents. She's also working towards gaining an arts award and rehearses
weekly in a band. The support and nurture that Ruby received in her music therapy sessions. her
mum Bev says. was vital getting her to this point.
.1 can honestly say hand on my heart that discovering Nordoff and Robbins helped save our
beautiful girl from what looked like a very difficult fLrture. That's even rf she h8d a future." Bev,
Ruby's mum

development. We are committed to providing
continuous professional development ICPDI
for roles, investing in both external support
and intemal support.
What's nexl?
The state of the nation, in parts. is noihing short of 8 crisis. Waiting lists for young people with
mental he81th challenges are at an all-time high. The numbers of people INing with dementia
are increasing daily and support for children with autism or learning difficulties is becoming
inadequate. With Millions of people impacted. we know music. as a medical intervention, can
help.
As we look tOW8rds our new strategyfrom 2025. through partnering Wilh organisations and
working in the music for health and wellbeing ecosystem. we are committed to making mu51C
therapy as accessible as possible, using music and creative health to improve people's health
and wellbeing, working to integrate our work into the health and care pathways of those we Wofk
wth.
The transformational power of music therapy C8n inspire tears. joy, and moments of
transcendent human connection. To achieve this. we need to bring so much more than music.
To each unique encounter between a music therapist and the person they serve. we bring
humanity, deep academic sludy. years of professional practice. vulnerability. courage.
sensitivity, a determination to reach people who are isolated and in need, continuous learning,
creative thinking, improvisation. compassion, visionary supporters. and. yes, music.
To do allofthis. and to reach many more people. we need the SUPPQrt of people whovalue
music and whovalue humanty. Quite simply. havingmore musictherapists mean5 we can help
more people sooner, and genuinelychange more knves.
Providing musictherapy
In 2024, we delivered 11% more sessions than in 2023 and ¥wrked wth approximately 10%
more people th8n we did in 2023. We worked in partnership wth 391 organisations such as
schools and cafe homes. compared to 389 the year before. This was helped by the growth of our
nationalteam of music therapists through our Graduate Employment Scheme.
This means by the end of our strategy:
We surpassed our g0810l people reached with music therapy by 18% w0￿1ng with
almost 17.000 across the UK
We were 6% short of our target for rnusic therapy sessions

It was the first full year with our team of dedicated researchers. who worked closely with our
therapists and students. re-invigorating our research activities including a dementia research
project. This project fo¢uses on understanding the'ripple effect. in care homes. The'ripple

involved in the music therapy sessions, and this research project will look at ways music
therapy affects the people an¢ environments surrounding it. It will take place over 12 months
a¢ro$s three sites in London and Manchester.
Putting it inio practice
Of our 155 Colleagues, 104 are music therapists providing thousands of music ther8py sessions

people each year without our music therapists or allthe other colleagues helping to pul this into
practice.

When Stephen was a child. he was a refvgee from Poland during the Second World War. This
trauma has impacted his life, making it difficult for him to express his emotions and to let others
know when he w8S Struggling. Stephen went on to become a psychologist. lecturing at
unive¥sities and writing academic articles. Today. he's Livingwith advanced dementia in a care
home in North London.
Living with dementia affects how Stephen engages with people and the world around him.
Speech and conversation have become difficult for him. which ean make it hard for him to
inter8Ct wilh staff, other residents. his family and othervisitors. He often cries when he is
emotional but is unable to verbally express how he's feeling.
Whenwords are hard. music speaks
Music. particularly classical music, has been important to Stephen throughout his lrfe. He
began sessions wth music therapist Kate. and he was engaged from the beginning. Music
seems to offer Stephen a wayto interaet that's more diiect and less stressful than eonvers8tion.
Through music, he can be fully present with another person as Ihey share an experience. He
reacts physically, by using lots of gestures. during his sessions with Kate. Kate is a prof85sional
HCPC music therapist who is expertly trained to tune into people's responses and understand
the meaning of these deeper interactions in their lives.
Music gives Stephen a space to connect. and a rare opportunity to take the lead
In music therapy sessions, Stephen exercises his agency. Oftèn. he begins by gesturing to the
music played by Kate, his rnovements clearly related to the music. As Stephen changes the
speed of his gestures. Kate adapts the music to rnatch. as though he's conducting. He seems to
be aware of his impact. as the smallest changes he makes wtth his hands impact the.music.
And this music provides Siephen with a space to connect. He interacts closely with musi¢
ther8PlSt Kate, and that helps them to create a sense of shared companionship.
Mu¥1¢ therapy and dementi•
Music therapy plays a wtal role in e8sing the anxiety of people wilh dementia. reducing thelr
isolation and helping them retain and re-experience their sense of identity. As dementia
progresses. people fetain their capacity to respond to an(J become engaged in music even as

this graduate intake from Garfield Weston and Fidelity-
The graduate intake in September 2024 was limited to two music therapists from our London
training programme forfinancial reasons. They are delivering between them a total of six days of
music therapy per week around Greater London in hospital oncology units and in schools for
children wth special educational needs.

Most partnerships from 2023 continued into 2024. but 121 ended during the year. Although this
was nearly double the number in 2023. we still increased levels of our delivery. and it was a
number that we expected. This was because of ihe current economic situation and the majority
no longer being able to afford our subsidised semce charge. None of the organisations said they
stopped because ol dissatisfaction.

considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users 18ken on the basis of these financial statements.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities.
includingfraud and non-compliance with iav4s an¢J regulations ale set out below.
Extent io which the audit was considered capable of detecting I￿egUlar1ties, including
fraud
Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance wtth laws and regulations. We
identified and assessed the risks of material rnisstatement of the linaneial statements from
irregularities, whether due to fraud or error. and discussed these between our audit team
members. We then designed and pertormed audit procedures responsNetothose risks,
including obtaining audil evidence sufficient and appropriate io provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the group
and charitable company operates. focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct
effect on the deterrnination of material amounts and disclosures in the fi'nancial statements.
The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Aci 2006, the
Charities Act 201 l and The Charities and Trustee Investment Iscotlandl Act 2005. together with
the Charities SORP IFRS 1021. We assessed the required compliance wth these laws and
regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provision$ of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct
effect on the financial statements but ¢omplian¢e with which might be fundamental to the
charitable company's and group's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also
considered the opportunities and incentives that may existwithin the charitable company and
group for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context forthe group operations
were General Data Protection Regulationg and those regulations associated with Safeguarding.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these
Laws and regulations to enquiry of the Tiustees and other management an¢J inspection of
regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the fi.nancial statements from Ir￿gUIaTI1ies,
includingfr8ud, to be within the timing of recognition and completeness of grant and legacy
income. and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these
risks included enquiries of management at)out their own identification and assessment of the
risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of joumals. reviewing accounting estimates
for biases. sample testing grant and legacy income. reviewing regulatory correspondence with
the Charity Commission and reading minutes ot meetings ot those charged wrth governance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audil, there is an unavoidable risk that we rnay not have
detected some material misstatements in the tinancial statements. even though we have
propefty p18nned an¢J perfonned oui audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example.
the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulation5 lirregularitiesl is Irom the events
and tiansa¢tion$ reflected in the financial statements. the less likely the inherently limited
proeedures required by auditing standards would identify il. In addition. as with any audit, there
rernained a higher risk of non-detection of ineguLarilies, as these may involve collusion. forgery.
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not
responsible lor preventing non-compliance and eannot be expected to detect non-compliance
th all Laws and regulations.
