Profile of a Supporting Trust The Gordon Fraser Charitable Trust
The Gordon Fraser Charitable Trust has supported Music as Therapy International for ten years. Trustee Margaret Moss (left) was introduced to the charity by music therapist and Advisory Panel member Clare Reynolds. The Trust also nominated Music as Therapy International for the Charity Awards 2006, for which we were successful in winning the award for International Aid and Development. Margaret explains why they still choose to support MasT International:
“We had supported Music as Therapy for seven years when I received information about the Charity Awards in 2006. From the start, my co-trustee, Bill Anderson and I had been greatly impressed not only by the excellent work carried out in Romania but also by the way administration costs were (and are) kept to a minimum, while in no way jeopardising the extremely efficient running of the charity. We also liked the way that vital long term support was given following the initial training by UK therapists… Local Partners know that Music as Therapy is always there to give this support where and when it should be needed. It is, I think, an excellent idea that volunteers accompany the trained therapists. I feel sure the Romanians will relate to the volunteers who are also learning; for the latter it is an opportunity to see if they wish to train for a career in music therapy, as some have indeed gone on to do.”
