Thomas’s Fund operates within Northamptonshire and aims to provide music therapy to children and young people (0 to 19 yrs) with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and/or disabilities who, for medical reasons, experience long periods of absence from school or an Early Years setting. Pre-school children are assessed on an individual basis.
We usually work in the home but, over the years, have worked within hospitals and other relevant and suitable settings if required.
If you feel that a child or young person would benefit from our service, please contact our Lead Music Therapist, Esther. You can email her on [email protected]. She will send you a Referral Form or (if it is decided another service may be more suitable) try to aim you in the right direction.
We employ, HCPC registered, Music Therapists (to provide our service) but when it comes to the everyday running of the Fund we are, almost entirely, volunteers. Any additional costs that we face, in order to run the service efficiently; abide by current legislation; or mount a fundraising event, are kept to an absolute minimum (however, as you can imagine, our fuel costs keep rising year on year!).
We pride ourselves on the fact that people can donate to Thomas’s Fund (or provide us with a grant) knowing that the children/young people (and families) who use our service, will benefit the most.
We value ALL support. Even if you can not make a monetary donation, you could still help us by donating your time; skills and expertise; fundraising experience or just by spreading the word about us, via your platforms.
