Yesterday we met with music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins to confirm our sponsorship plans for this year's Silver Clef Awards which are to be held on Friday 29th June 2012 at London's Hilton Hotel on Park Lane.

This will be the 11th consecutive year RAYMOND WEIL have worked with Nordoff Robbins and sponsored the International Award for the Silver Clef Awards whose previous winners include names such as Swedish House Mafia, Foo Fighters, Bon Jovi, Kylie Minogue and U2 amongst others.

Nordoff Robbins is a national specialist music charity, helping through music therapy to dramatically enhance and in many ways save the lives of people who they work with and their loved ones.  Nordoff Robbins have 60 therapists who provide music therapy services to 100 organisations throughout the UK, amounting to over 50,000 music therapy sessions every year which are delivered in a variety of settings. The annual Nordoff Robbins Silver Clef Awards acts as the main fundraising platform for Nordoff Robbins, which already reaches out to so many.  As Nordoff Robbins receives no statutory funding, the organisation is solely reliant on fundraising income to support their work.

Last year I was able to visit the Nordoff Robbins centre in Kentish Town, North London, and saw for myself the amazing work and care they provide which transforms that lives of vulnerable people throughout the UK.  It was an incredibly moving experience and one that made me incredibly proud to be a part of the fundraising process.
