Dementia charity hopes shop will “strike a chord”

The charity, which provides interactive musical experiences for people living dementia in care homes and day centres, aims to open the doors of its first charity shop later this year — and is on the hunt for volunteers.

Supported by a professional shop manager the volunteers will get involved in all aspects of shop work, including serving customers, sorting clothes, spotting premium items, pricing goods and creating window displays.

“This is a great way to become much more directly involved in the work of Lost Chord and help us to bring joy and happiness to people and their families living with dementia,” said chief executive Helena Muller.

“We’re looking for people over the age of 18 who are friendly and approachable, have common sense, can use their own initiative and work as part of a team.”
