Supporters Groups
Cornwall Music Therapy Trust introduced a new network for supporters of the charity in September 2014, in order to bolster its work.
Our ‘Supporters Group’ will allow individuals to work more closely with the charity, and three meeting districts are in place; Rock, Truro and Penzance.
We hope that the new group will deliver new income to the charity to enable music therapy to be delivered to all who may need it in Cornwall.
This initiative was born in response to public interest and enthusiasm to uphold our vital work in Cornwall. We have many individuals that are compelled to help us, having witnessed music therapy first-hand or through a family member, and now there is an opportunity to join with others for shared ideas and energy.
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. It is our hope that, with the new Supporters Group, our network will grow, continuing the significant achievements of music therapy in the county.

Members of the public are invited to join the Supporters Club by which, in return for a small annual donation, they will receive regular communications as well as invitations to attend the meetings should they wish.
An annual minimum subscription of £15 will assist the Trust in its work and will entitle a Supporter to receive:
- Cornwall Music Therapy Trust publications;
- Advance notice of musical events held in aid of the Trust;
- Invitations to any professional conferences organised by the Trust;
- Invitations to social and fundraising events held to support the work of the Trust;
- If there is sufficient interest, it is hoped also to arrange some events specifically for Supporters from time to time.
Families of clients assisted by the Trust will be welcomed as Supporters without a subscription, although voluntary contributions would always be gratefully received. It is also hoped that families will try to raise awareness of the value of music therapy within their local communities and to encourage local fundraising.
Applications for membership can be made to the administrator by e-mail or download the Supporters Leaflet and return the completed form to us by post.
