Music therapy at Kids Company

Many of the children Kids Company works with have experienced severe trauma, often resulting in emotional and behavioural difficulties. Music therapy can provide a hugely positive experience for these children. It is an enormously valuable resource which offers vulnerable children a powerful form of expression and a way of channelling their energy safely and creatively.

All proceeds from The Music Therapy Gig will go towards providing instruments for a school music therapy room, benefiting hundreds of children.
