How to watch the Nordoff Robbins Carol Service 2020
The Nordoff Robbins annual carol service will be hosted online for 2020, raising funds for the music therapy charity
Last updated 25th Nov 2020
The ever popular Nordoff Robbins Carol Service will be streamed globally from 7pm GMT on 15th December, in a special fundraising service hosted by Nile Rodgers. This year's digital event will also feature performances from an array of musicians, including Sir Cliff Richard, Florence Welch, Jack Savoretti, Kaiser Chiefs and many more.
Scala Radio is delighted to team up with Nordoff Robbins to support this service, which raises vital funds for the music therapy charity, which is expecting to lose around 75% of their fundraising income due to the pandemic.
What is Nordoff Robbins?
Nordoff Robbins is the largest independent music therapy charity in the UK, dedicated to enriching the lives of people affected by life limiting illness, isolation or disability. Their music therapists are expertly trained to tune into each movement, reaction and expression of the individuals they work with to discover how music can enrich their lives.
This event will not only be full of festive cheer, but raise vital funds to help Nordoff Robbins in its mission to bring music therapy to as many vulnerable people who could benefit from it as possible.
