PEOPLE AT LOST CHORD
“Those with dementia are still people and they still have stories and they still have character and they’re all individuals and they’re all unique. And they just need to be interacted with on a human level” – Carey Milligan.
Our Musicians

Our Volunteers
We are so grateful to our dedicated team of volunteers who regularly assist our musicians at the concerts around the UK, THANKYOU.
We’d also like to express our gratitude to all our volunteers who not only help out on a weekly basis at the concerts but also manage to find time to help at our fundraising events – we couldn’t do it without you! To find out more about Volunteering at Lost Chord visit our Volunteering page.
Benefits to carers
Carers from the residential homes regularly tell us that Lost Chord has enhanced their understanding of the therapeutic value of live music and makes a real difference to how they approach people with dementia across all other areas of their care work.
The carers also benefit from their exposure to the interactive musical sessions. They are clearly starting to understand and appreciate the therapeutic nature of music and as we build on these achievements with them, it will in turn have a very positive effect on those they care for. For example, some carers are now adopting techniques used by the musicians in their work with residents, which shows how the sessions give added value to the staff members’ own continuing professional development.
