Nordoff Robbins has appointed Angus Nelson to the newly created role of head of Scotland.
The move follows the recent merger between the music therapy charity and sister organisation Nordoff Robbins Scotland.
Nelson, who will work with the team, its supporters and partners to develop the work of Nordoff Robbins, has more than 20 years’ experience working in the voluntary sector for charities such as the British Heart Foundation, Alzheimer's Society and most recently Oxfam Scotland.
Julie Whelan, CEO of Nordoff Robbins, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Angus to the Nordoff Robbins fold. Under his leadership and guidance, our charity has a truly brilliant opportunity to develop service provision in Scotland and to grow our reach across communities where our help is needed most. With Angus, along with all our Scottish colleagues, we look forward to taking some great steps in achieving our central mission – to make music therapy available to all who need it.”
Last month, Nordoff Robbins and sister organisation Nordoff Robbins Scotland announced a merger, which saw the two organisations come together to form a single UK wide Nordoff Robbins charity. The merger will offer a wealth of opportunity for Nordoff Robbins to continue developing life-changing work in Scotland and to grow music therapy provision across the UK.
