Over the last five years, The Cornwall Music Therapy Trust has contributed over £200,000 to Cornwall Learning to support music therapy projects.

 

Cornwall Music Therapy Trust was established in August 2006 to oversee and help fund the development of and research into music therapy in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Trustees are drawn from the health, education, higher education and local authority sectors

.

 

Through partnership schemes our aim is to

support those suffering from mental or physical illness or living with disabilities, emotional or behavioural problems of any description or in need of rehabilitation as a result of such illness, by the provision of music therapy'

There are currently five qualified music therapists working through Cornwall Learning in the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust; in special and mainstream schools; and with individuals of all ages.
