Learn more about Nordoff Robbins's inspiring work, and the challenges Covid-19 has brought

Today's Video of the Day couldn't be more important.

Nordoff Robbins is an extraordinary charity that uses music to enrich the lives of people with life-limiting illnesses, disabilities and feelings of isolation. It's an organisation very close the UK classical industry's heart, and the beneficiary of the annual BPI/PPL Classical Music Quiz, this year's edition of which took place (online) on Wednesday. Featuring 110 friends and colleagues from across the sector, it raised £4,221 for Nordoff Robbins – money needed more urgently than ever, as Sarah Wainman, Nordoff-Robbins's Events Manager/Interim Trusts and Grants Manager explains: 'Nordoff Robbins has been devastated financially due to Covid-19 including the cancellation their flagship O2 Silver Clef Awards, whilst facing an increase in demand for their music therapy services in partner organisations due to Covid-19, both face-to-face where possible and online. They are in urgent need of support'.

The video below tells you more about Nordoff Robbins's inspiring work, about the challenges they've faced in the wake of Covid-19 – and how about how you can support their Christmas campaign.
