Let a memory shine with a Lost Chord UK Memory Pendant this Christmas

The Lost Chord UK Memory Pendant is a simple, reflective tribute that can be hung on the Christmas tree or kept and worn all year round as a symbol of remembrance, love and music.

For every Memory Pendant donation, supporters will receive an appreciation certificate, acknowledging the gift and the difference it will make to local people living with dementia and their carers.

The pendants each represent someone whose life was touched by dementia, someone who loved music, someone who brought life to others and someone whose presence is still felt.

Families can dedicate a pendant in a loved one’s name and, in doing so, help Lost Chord UK to bring comfort, connection and joy to people living with dementia right now.

Lost Chord UK’s professional musicians work across Yorkshire and the UK, running community sessions, carers’ choirs and sessions like Tea and Tunes and Soup and Song as well as delivering calming one-to-one musical comfort at the bedside.

The charity’s vital work across all communities brings joy and comfort to people, improving their health and wellbeing as well as reconnecting them to their loved ones through the unique power of music.

Lost Chord UK chief executive Jean Collingwood explained: “Music unlocks memories that dementia cannot take away.

“Our new Memory Pendant lets families honour those they’ve loved while helping us bring live music into community spaces, care homes and even to people at the end of life.

It’s a gift that honours the people in our lives who loved music and are no longer with us, while keeping their memory alive for others.

“By making a special Christmas donation you are literally keeping the music playing at a time when it matters most.”

The Lost Chord UK Memory Pendants can be found at many of the charity’s events over Christmas or can be bought via the website at lost-chord.org.uk
