On Friday 9 August, our supporters Lena and Ceri hosted a musical evening in the Palmer Centre in Chepstow to raise funds for Music in Hospitals & Care.
Both Lena and Ceri have worked in the NHS and have seen the powerful impact that music has in healthcare settings.
They raised their voices and over £230 from the event! A huge thank you to them and to everyone who supported them including the Palmer Community Centre and those who attended and donated on the evening.
“Through singing we have both had the privilege of witnessing first-hand the miracle of music for patients such as those with dementia. Faces light up with emotion the moment they hear a familiar song. Seeing them join in and clap with our songs has been one of the most rewarding feelings ever.”
Thank you for being our #SupportAct Lena and Ceri!
