Universal Music UK’s staff charity of the year Nordoff Robbins have been presented with a cheque for £70,000, the results of the team’s fundraising over the past 12 months.
Jo Carter, Director of Marketing, Fundraising and Communications at the charity says: “A huge thank you to everyone at Universal Music for their amazing fundraising efforts. Every penny will go towards training the next generation of music therapists and your generosity will leave a lasting legacy that will change thousands of lives for many years to come.”
Contributions towards the total have come from a wide range of activities, nearly half from the cyclists who rode 300 miles, through wind and rain, from Kensington to the Eiffel Tower in three days.
Over £5,000 was amassed via donations from coffee purchases in the Universal Music cafés, while pop quizzes added nearly £3,000 to the pot.
