Message from Lesley Garrett
“Dementia is a condition which affects thousands of people, either directly or indirectly, including my own family. I know from experience how music can reach the confused minds of people with dementia when nothing else can. To see a smile on the face of someone who hasn’t smiled for many months is a very special moment and for a musician who has touched the heart of someone with dementia the joy is incomparable. Help us to keep them smiling by joining the High Notes Appeal. Support this unique charity which does so much to help both those with dementia and the musicians who serve them”.
OVER 700,000 PEOPLE IN THE UK ARE DIAGNOSED WITH DEMENTIA.
BY 2030 THIS WILL HAVE RISEN TO OVER ONE MILLION!!
We need to raise over £200,000 every year in order to keep our current musical programme running in over 70 residential care homes around the country. However as word spreads about the beneficial effects of our concerts the demand grows and we now have a big waiting list of residential homes all desperate to utilise our services.
Our concerts have proved hugely beneficial in improving the quality of life of those who struggle to live with dementia but without any statutory funding we have to rely on the generosity of the general public.
So we decided to launch the HIGH NOTES APPEAL to raise an extra £103,400. To provide an extra 40 residential homes with one concert a month for a whole year (except August) - £103,400
Our waiting list has residential homes in:
Rotherham Chesterfield Sheffield
Barnsley Doncaster Worksop
Coventry London Cardiff
Music is the most effective and often the only way to stimulate a response from those with dementia. It seems to reach into their very souls and unlocks the door behind which a frightened, intimidated and humiliated person hides. Life at times is just too awful to face for most of them.
Will you help to improve the quality of life of someone with DEMENTIA in your neighbourhood?
