About Guitar Therapy

Bringing the healing power of music to children in need! 

We repair and gift donated guitars and associated items to young souls facing challenges. We are specifically looking to empower under 16 year olds who are from difficult backgrounds, had life traumas, or who have disablities, we know first hand how much the joy of even seeing an instrument can bring to these incredible souls. 

So please - Join us in making a difference!  - whether its a bass, an acoustic, an electric, ukulele, an amp, FX unit or anything of the sort that is no longer wanted or used, then please consider donating to really make a young persons dream become a reality.

I mean .. we say team and we would love to get to that stage, but for the time being its just me and my absolute passion for this project. My name is Richard, and I have been playing guitar now for over 30 years - pretty much self taught !!

So I know a few things about them and guitars are my life, I love everything about them and everything in connection with them ... music is my therapy through my difficult times, and I recognise and fully know the difference music can make to someone's life. 

I have seen first hand how much a difference this project can make having seen the joy that music can bring to less abled children and those from a particularly difficult / traumatic background.

This is my passion and i am determined to make a difference to as many young aspiring musicians as I can. Who knows - through this, we might just inspire the next world famous Guitarist !

Whilst we have no official Partners, there are no manufactuers or brands we are unfamiliar with.

We work with different spares suppliers depending on need and always source where possible the highest possible replacements for parts that need repairing - and of course always look for OEM spares first and foremost.

We would like to give a special mention to Northwest Guitars for this as they are a superb supplier of many different items that are high quality and delivered in a quick timescale to enable us to complete the project sooner to then be able to donate quicker !!

To date we have funded much of the repairs ourselves, but we do have a Justgiving page which we would be eternally grateful for any donations at to help us on our way with ongoing costs associated with repairing instuments and equipment. - for exampe just £10 will buy two sets of decent strings, which go a long way to bringing a guitar back up to standard ! - You can donate here by clicking the below button and any donation is massively important and we are so grateful for.
