Lost Chord UK – Our WHY and beliefs
At Lost Chord UK, we believe in the transformative power of live music to break down barriers, ignite memories, and create deep connections for people living with dementia and neurological conditions. Our work is driven by a set of core beliefs that shape everything we do:
We believe in warmth and belonging. Every musical experience should be a safe, inclusive space where everyone feels valued, supported, and free to be themselves.
We believe in the power of joy. Music is uplifting, hopeful, and inspiring. We bring energy, fun, and laughter into every session, ensuring that even in the hardest moments, music sparks light.
We believe in participation and shared experiences. Music is at its most powerful when it brings people together. Our sessions are interactive, inclusive, engaging, and designed to create moments of connection.
We believe in stronger communities. Music has the power to unite people-bridging gaps between individuals, families, care settings, and the wider community.
We believe in the magic of connection. Music reaches beyond words, creating emotional, social, and therapeutic bonds that help people feel seen, heard, and understood.
We believe in unlocking potential. Through music, we empower self-expression, confidence, and emotional well-being, helping people rediscover their voice and identity.
We believe in innovation and fearless creativity. We are pioneers, always seeking new ways to improve lives through music. We collaborate, adapt, and push boundaries to ensure that no one with dementia or neurological conditions faces isolation.
Music is our universal language of hope, communication, and thriving together. Through our joyful, interactive experiences, we turbocharge memories, reconnect people to their world, their loved ones, and their communities-ensuring that no one is left behind.
These are our beliefs, our mission, and our promise. This is Lost Chord UK.
