TOWERSEY
FOUNDATION
www.towerseyfoundation.org.uk
The
Towersey Foundation is a unique charity providing music therapy
in palliative care for people living with life-threatening

and valued for the beneficial effect it has in a variety of

Professionals working in hospices and special schools are increasingly
appreciating what a powerful tool it is in the total care of
their patients.
