 In the year of our 10th anniversary, Sir Cliff Richard OBE has agreed to be one of our National Patrons. His mother suffered with Dementia and he knows what an important part music can play in improving the quality of life for dementia sufferers.
Sir Cliff joins International Soprano Lesley Garrett CBE and The Forces Sweetheart, Dame Vera Lynn DBE in supporting us in their patronage.

We have had an amazingly successful year but the highlight is undoubtedly the appointment of our new National Patron.
We are all terribly excited to announce that Lesley Garrett, the world famous soprano, has agreed to become the first National Patron. Lesley originally came from Doncaster and obviously feels a certain allegiance to this area.
We asked her to comment on her reasons for supporting Lost Chord.
‘I had a dear aunt who was a dementia sufferer and a resident at a home in South Yorkshire. She didn't recognise any of us by sight towards the end, but when my mother played one of my CD’s her face always lit up and she would say ‘Lesley.’
I do admire the work you do, especially as you are helping young musicians as well as dementia sufferers.’
