music dementia charity plans expansion
A dementia charity which brings live music experiences to people living with dementia and other neurological conditions is marking its 25th anniversary.
Lost Chord was established in 1999 in Maltby, Rotherham. The charity is hoping to extend its reach as part of its anniversary celebrations to 25 new locations across the UK.
Chief executive Jean Collinwood said they hoped this would enable them to respond to the growing demand for their services.
Lost Chord UK was founded by Helena Muller with a vision “to harness the transformative power of music to enhance the quality of life for those facing cognitive challenges”.
Ms Muller was inspired after her younger sister, Annette, suffered a brain haemorrhage and she saw how she found solace in the music of her youth.
Lost Chord was designed to provide a programme of classical music and popular hits for people.
The sessions are run by professionally trained musicians in a variety of settings from memory cafes, wellness centres, libraries, and large community events. They also bring music to care homes and hospices
and offer more intimate bedside sessions.
Lost Chord has over 65 musicians leading sessions in memory cafes, wellness centres, libraries, and care homes.
The music sessions are intergenerational and designed to target the needs of individuals with dementia and other neurological conditions, such as stroke, Parkinson’s, brain injury, and motor neurone disease.
Music and interaction are combined to stimulate memories, uplift mood, increase energy levels and promote a zest for life, the charity said.
Ms Collinwood said the sessions often lead to “magical moments” where people, even those who may have been non-verbal or unresponsive for months or years “connect with a song” and activate a lost memory.
Amongst the Lost Chord national patrons are Sir Cliff Richard, whose mother suffered with dementia, and soprano singer Lesley Garrett.
“I had a dear aunt with dementia, a resident at a home in South Yorkshire,” Ms Garrett said.
“She didn’t recognise any of us by sight towards the end, but when my mother played
one of my CD’s her face always lit up”
Ms Collinwood said: “It’s a huge achievement to still be here after all this time.
“We’ve changed the lives of thousands if not millions of people.”
She said the aim to expand to new locations would help meet the high demand for the sessions they offer.
“The expansion is crucial to meet the growing demands of people on our waiting list who are currently without an interactive music service, in Newcastle, Cumbria, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester and other locations,” she said.

Victorian maSterpiece Set to add an unuSuaL twiSt to modern-day nigHtLife
Sheffield author Neil Anderson has never been short of willing people to interview for his renowned Dirty Stop Outs series. His books contain the photos and memories of hundreds of revellers and the titles have sold tens of thousands of copies. But his latest – and arguably most ambitious project – was rather different.
Though Working Men’s Clubs were on the rise and the city’s elite had their own Sheffield Club on Surrey Street to party away to their hearts’ content, the first camera for the masses was still two decades away and the last living party animal probably passed away well over 100 years ago.
The ‘1879 Guide to Sheffield’ is Neil Anderson’s newest addition and, rather than being a world away from modern 21st-century city life – he says there are actually many more similarities than you’d realise.
He said: “The guide promotes retail therapy in Cole Bros, a sumptuous dinner in the Cutlers' Hall and a relaxing night's sleep at the Royal Victoria Hotel – all things you can still do today (bar Cole Bros that shut in COVID).
“Parts of it contain all the hallmarks of a 21st century Sheffield marketing brochure – but with a distinctly Victorian twist”, he says.
“It was published in an exciting period that saw the earliest tram routes opening out to Attercliffe, Hillsborough and Nether Edge. Working Men's Clubs, which began springing up in 1871, were on their ascendency right across the town and the cult of celebrity was alive and kicking, there's actually a chapter entitled 'Sheffield Celebrities'. The most notable was poet James Montgomery.” Neil Anderson – who actually bought an original copy of the ultra-rare 1879 ‘Guide to Sheffield’ book on ebay – had it fully digitised and has re-published this - an abridged version.
One of the most popular attractions of 1879 definitely won’t make it to Sheffield’s top tips of 2024. That was a trip to the South Yorkshire Lunatic Asylum at Wadsley Park. It offers "extensive lawns, flower gardens and shrubberies" with all general maintenance "performed by the lunatics".

St Luke’s Hospice launches new community patient support project
St Luke’s Hospice is extending its services even further into the Sheffield community with the launch of a new series of free community outreach sessions.
At the moment, all St Luke’s Patient and Family Support service operate from the hospice in Little Common Lane at Whirlow and at the neighbouring Ecclesall Road South site.
Patients can access physio and occupational therapy, wellbeing and creative therapies, social work and chaplaincy or spiritual support, as well as relaxation and wellbeing techniques, tips on nutrition, routine and sleep as well as fun activities for all interests.
But from the beginning of September, a selection of those services will be made available weekly for the first time at Centre in the Park in Sheffield’s Norfolk Heritage Park.
And the aim is to ultimately see the project extend to other sites across the city, opening St Luke’s services to more patients than ever before.
Staring on Friday September 6 from 10am to 12 noon and running every week until Friday October 11, the free sessions will feature a whole range of popular St Luke’s activities including arts and crafts, simple sports like indoor curling, chaired-based aerobics, board games, mindfulness, gardening, music, singing and drumming.
There will also be free tea and coffee, a chat area and practical support including digital skills and help with self-referrals.
“People are increasingly aware that St Luke’s provides care to most of its patients in their own homes in the wider community thanks to the dedicated support of our Community Specialist Palliative Care Community team,” said St Luke’s Chief Executive Jo Lenton.
“Now we are delighted to be launching this new scheme that will take our valued Patient and Family Support services out across the city too.
“We know how popular the many activities we offer at Ecclesall Road South are and we are confident those services will be even more successful as we take them to Norfolk Park.
“This is a pilot project at this stage but the aim is to see it extend across sites across Sheffield if it is as successful as we feel it will be.
“St Luke’s is not about one building or one location – it is always about providing services where they are needed the most.”
For more information or to register for the Norfolk Park sessions visit www.stlukeshospice. org.uk email: pafss@hospicesheffield.co.uk or call 0114 235 7650.

wORRYING RIsE IN IllEGal vapEs
The rise of illegal vape shops in the UK has become a significant concern in recent years, driven by a surge in youth vaping and the proliferation of unregulated products.
A new study by experts has examined several factors contributing to the rise of illegal vape shops in the UK and commented on the situation, offering advice on how to prevent this worrying trend.
Increase in Youth Vaping Youth vaping has skyrocketed in the UK over recent years, with around 20% of children aged 11-17 trying vaping in 2023, up from 15.8% in 2022. This rise is often attributed to the availability of flavoured disposable vapes and the perception amongst youths that because vaping is widely considered a healthier alternative to smoking, it validates their use.
Increase of Illegal Vape Shops and Non-Compliant Products
The number of vape shops, including those selling illegal products, has grown sharply. In 2023 alone, over 230 new independent vape shops opened across the UK. Many of these shops have been found selling products to underage consumers without proper age verification, exploiting the lack of stringent enforcement in some areas. The real danger here lies in the products they are supplying, with many of the vapes being unlicensed and unregulated imitations that are often produced cheaply and do not adhere to UK health regulations. Investigations have revealed high levels of harmful substances in these devices, such as lead, nickel, and chromium. These products are typically sold at lower prices, making them more accessible to young people and more profitable for
unscrupulous sellers.
Links to Criminal Activity
There is increasing evidence in the UK linking illegal vaping to broader criminal activities, including child exploitation and the involvement of organized crime. Recent reports suggest worrying evidence that the illicit selling of counterfeit vaping devices is sometimes used by gangs to groom and exploit children, offering them as part of coercion tactics.
Government and Regulatory Response
The UK government has intensified its crackdown on illegal vaping. This includes the establishment of an ‘illicit vapes enforcement squad’, funded to tackle underage sales and the distribution of non-compliant products.
Proposals for stricter regulations on the sale and marketing of vaping products are also under consideration, including bans on flavoured vapes and tighter controls on packaging and advertising aimed at children. The government is commited to creating a ‘smoke-free generation’
The aim is to continue supporting adults who use vapes as a means to quit smoking while simultaneously protecting young people from starting a potentially harmful habit.
A spokesperson for Go Smoke Free commented “To combat illegal vape shops, the UK must adopt a comprehensive strategy. This involves increasing funding for local trading standards, intensifying enforcement at key locations, tightening advertising and packaging regulations to reduce youth appeal, and enhancing cooperation between law enforcement and health authorities.”

Nearly 300 children and young people and hundreds more family members affected by a cancer diagnosis from Sheffield and other parts of Yorkshire will receive help and support thanks to a grant from Yorkshire West Riding Freemasons to the Cavendish Cancer Care charity.
The £60,000 grant will help families from Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, North Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire and works with any child or young person affected by cancer – whether diagnosed with a childhood cancer themselves, affected by a cancer diagnosis in the family or in need of support following a cancer bereavement. The work of the charity has a strong positive impact on children’s lives. The grant will be used to benefit the charity’s Children and Young People’s Service (CYPS), which provides psychological support for children, up to the age of 18 who have been affected by cancer. The funds will make a significant contribution towards funding the new role of Head of Service for Children and Young People which was introduced by the charity earlier this year and will allow for a new strategic focus on providing much-needed services for children.
The new post has been filled by Claire Furbey, a qualified integrative counsellor focusing on person-centred counselling who has 16 years of experience working with children and young people. Claire will take a key strategic lead in developing the Children and Young People’s Services, including exploring and incorporating new elements such as sibling and family group work and online resources.
The grant from Yorkshire West Riding Freemasons comes through the Masonic Charitable Foundation, which is funded by Freemasons, their families and friends, from across England and Wales.
cancer. It is imperative to us that families who have received our support leave feeling empowered and in control of their situation whilst knowing that our doors are always open. Thank you from all of us at Cavendish Cancer Care.”
James Newman, Head of Yorkshire West Riding Freemasons, said: “I am very pleased Yorkshire Freemasons have been able to help Cavendish Cancer Care with their hugely important programme of support for children and families affected by cancer. A cancer diagnosis is a dreadful shock to anyone, who receives this bad news and Cavendish do a wonderful job in supporting those affected, including their families, all the way through treatment and, if necessary, following a bereavement. This help and guidance is so appreciated by those, who need and receive it, and I am delighted the that we, as Freemasons, are backing this wonderful charity.”

CaRE HOME IN NEw pROjECT
Abbey Grange Care & Nursing Home has been selected to take part in a project run jointly by the Alzheimer’s Society and Social-Ability, looking at how to create exciting and accessible physical activities for people living with dementia.
The Happiness Programme involves providing care home residents with opportunities to participate in games and interact with personalised content using interactive light technology. The portable interactive projector features a range of games and sensory experiences, specifically designed for the care industry and people living with dementia and physical impairment. The games provide meaningful activity and are research proven to achieve a wide range of resident care outcomes. The first stage will be delivery and training to get staff confident with using the Happiness Programme for the residents they support at Abbey Grange. Andrew Spiers of SocialAbility commented, “We have already been working in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Society codesigning new activities and content – Abbey Grange are part our pilot group to road test these new games. The focus will be primarily on physical movement, but it may also include other outcomes such as improvements to cognitive stimulation and wellbeing.”
Wellbeing Coordinator Michael Nicholls commented “We’ve already seen the benefits of using the Happiness Programme. The residents love the games, especially the music. The are amazed at how they can interact with it, you can really see people’s reactions and lots of smiles.”
Home Manager Kerry Peach said “The Happiness Programme has bought benefits for different people in different ways, each of our residents has got something different from it. For some people it’s been the sensory aspects whereas others just love joining in with the games and the more social side it brings out in people. We focus on what people can do no matter what stage of dementia they are living with, and we’ve found this is inclusive for everyone, all our residents have benefited in some way. Even for residents who are nursed in bed, we can use it there, the machine can adapt to their physical needs.”
Care staff have found the interactive table very intuitive to use and get involved with the residents as they use it and provides great talking points.
The games and content on the table is updated regularly to keep people engaged and excited about returning to use it.

A ground-breaking partnership between two animal charities has resulted in an impressive rise in the number of cats in Sheffield being helped. The partnership saw Cats Protection Sheffield & District take on 15 pens at the RSPCA shelter in Attercliffe to use as temporary homes for unwanted cats and kittens. RSPCA staff take care of the welfare of the residents – including feeding, grooming, playing and cleaning out the pens, as well as arranging any vet treatment required. Seven months on from taking over the pen space, Cats Protection has reported a 61% increase in the amount of cats it has rehomed. It has also been able to admit 71% more cats than the previous year, meaning many more felines living in unsuitable conditions have been brought to safety.
James Nunn of Cats Protection said: “The partnership has certainly been a learning curve for all, but we’ve been able to adapt and change to meet each others needs. The hard work that was put in at the beginning of the process has ensured it has been a success and we are being rewarded by seeing just how many more cats we are able to
support. From the start we were keen for this not just be about renting space from the RSPCA but an opportunity to work closely together to benefit cats.”
A stray new mum and her week-old kittens are just one example of how working together has benefited cats in peril. Two-year-old Peach and her five kittens were discovered living in a garden by a member of public. Peach was incredibly underweight and struggling to care for her tiny offspring when they were brought to the RSPCA centre. James said: “They were in a bit of a state when they were found, mum was dehydrated and the kittens’ eyes were so gunked up they would not open. Sadly, they were so poorly that only two of the kittens survived. Both our pens and the RSPCA’s were full but we contacted our Cat Welfare Advisor, Diane Armer, who found them space with a fosterer at Cats Protection Trafford within the hour!” For more information on the work of Cats Protection Sheffield & District visit www.cats.org.uk/sheffield
Emma Draper, CEO at Cavendish Cancer Care, said “We’re incredibly grateful for the extremely generous grant provided to us by Yorkshire West Riding Freemasons. Without support from funders such as the Freemasons and our wonderful local community we wouldn’t be able to continue providing such life-changing support for local people affected by

OWLS MAKING DOUBLE SIGNING
The Owls are delighted to confirm the permanent signing of Jamal Lowe from Premier League Bournemouth.
The 29-year-old becomes Danny Röhl’s fifth signing of the summer transfer window, with the forward bolstering the Owls’ attacking options. Starting his career at Barnet, the striker spent time on loan with Hayes & Yeading, Hitchin, St Albans, Farnborough and Hemel Hempstead. He joined St Albans in 2015 before further permanent stints with
Hemel Hempstead and Hampton & Richmond.
Lowe made a switch to Portsmouth in 2017 where he scored 30 goals during a two-year spell at Fratton Park.
The Jamaican international moved to Wigan in 2019 and joined Swansea one year later, scoring 14 goals in his maiden season at the Swansea.com Stadium.
The striker’s form earned him a move to Bournemouth where he contributed seven goals to help the Cherries return to the Premier League.
FLINT, ORAM AND ALLEN SIGN PROFESSIONAL
CONTRACTS
Doncaster Rovers are delighted to confirm that Jake Oram, Will Flint and Freddie Allen have all signed their first professional contracts with the club. The trio mark a successful year for the Academy with three individuals progressing to pro level for the first time in more than a decade.
Versatile Flint made his senior debut in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy last season and finished the campaign with four first team appearances, including two in Sky Bet League Two.
The Sutton-in-Ashfield-born defender/midfielder - who was with the Academy since U14 level - was offered a pro deal early in the campaign and has put pen to paper on a two-year contract after completing his scholarship.
He said: “I’m really happy to get in and sign this. The hard work starts now for me. I’m ready to get back in for pre-season and show the gaffer what I can do, It’ll be different for me but it’s going to be a great challenge.
“It was a dream come true for me to make my debut last season and play in front of the fans, especially at
Boston,
Lowe joined QPR on loan in 2022/23 and rejoined former employers
Swansea last season for a temporary stint, scoring nine goals, including two against Wednesday, both home and away.
The Reggae Boyz forward now moves to S6 ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
The Owls have also completed the permanent signing of Swedish midfielder Svante Ingelsson from German outfit Hansa Rostock.
The 26-year-old becomes Wednesday’s fourth addition of the summer
transfer window, joining Max Lowe, Ben Hamer and Yan Valery through the door in S6. Ingelsson began his career at hometown club Kalmar FF, making his debut as a 17-year-old in September 2015.
The Swede moved to Italy in 2017 with Serie
A side Udinese, scoring in his second game for the club during an 8-3 win over Perugia in the Coppa Italia.
A loan spell with Pescara followed, before returning to his boyhood side Kalmar for a temporary stint in
Mansfield which is not far from where I’m from so I had a lot of friends and family there.
“I’m glad the gaffer gave me that opportunity to get out there and express myself and I’m just looking for more of that next season.”
Rotherham-born goalkeeper Oram joined the Rovers Academy at U15 level and has regularly been involved in first team training as well as travelling with matchday squads. He has signed a one-year deal.
“I’m delighted to be in this position to get a pro contract,” Oram said. “I did pre-season with the first team last year and I’ll be ready for whatever Kyle [Letheren] throws at me.
“I’ve been lucky to have travelled quite a bit with the first team and it’s all good experience for me.
“I just want to get in as many games as possible this year so if a loan move comes up then great and we can do what is best for my development.”
Cambridgeshire-born left back Allen was signed up to the Academy at U16 level after departing Norwich City and moved away from home in order to pursue his goal of securing a career at pro level.
“Joining as a 16-year-old and coming away from home was difficult but I’ve enjoyed every minute and I’m happy to be where I am now,” he said.
“I just want to go as hard as I can in pre-season. If I play well, hopefully I’ll get my chance. I had a fantastic loan out at Rossington last season and it was very good for me with the physicality and the mental side of the game.”
Rovers manager Grant McCann said: “We really like Jake’s work ethic and attitude. He’s only going to improve being around the keepers we have in the building and with Kyle’s ability as a goalkeeper coach.
“Will trained with us for most of last season and has been around first team squads.
“He has a real good way about him and wants to learn and get better. He’s versatile in where he can play - right back, centre back and centre midfield.
“Freddie is an athletic left back who can get up and down the pitch. His attitude is good to learn and develop, has good energy and will improve being around our first team players more often.”
January 2020.
Ingellson switched to 2.Bundesliga side Hansa Rostock in June 2021, playing 30 games in his maiden season in Germany.
The attacking midfielder has also represented his country, playing for Sweden’s youth sides from Under-16 to Under21 level.
After 87 games for Rostock, the attacking midfielder now joins the Owls ahead of our 2024/25 Championship campaign.

McBurnie, a fans' favourite since his arrival from Swansea City in August 2019, scored 29 goals for the Blades in 159 games, with the
majority of his time at S2 spent in the top-flight.
Jebbison made 35 outings as a United player, having hit the headlines in May 2021 when scoring against Everton at Goodison Park on his full debut.
Finally, Osborn amassed 134 appearances as a Blade following his move from Nottingham Forest in July 2019.
Sheffield United would like to thank all four for their contributions in a red and white shirt.
LIAM PALMER TESTIMONIAL CONFIRMED
A maiden senior Owls appearance way back in August 2010. A staggering 435 appearances to date for his boyhood club and currently eighth in the Owls all-time list of appearances makers. Now set to enter his 15th season as a professional with a freshly signed contract at Hillsborough few players in the game will ever achieve what Liam Palmer has with Sheffield Wednesday.
From academy scholar to a modern-day club legend, the journey for Liam has been an incredible ride and it’s not over yet!
As revealed almost one year ago, plans have been underway for some time regarding a testimonial fixture for Liam and the Owls are now delighted to confirm the details of the fixture!
The Owls will host newly promoted La Liga side CD Leganes at Hillsborough on Saturday 3 August. Leganes were crowned as champions of the Segunda División last season to secure their promotion back to La Liga after a four-season absence.
Kick-off at Hillsborough will be at 1:00pm. Palmer made his senior bow way back in August 2010 in a League Cup clash with Bury in S6.
Barring a hugely productive loan spell with Tranmere Rovers in League One during 2012/13, Palmer has spent every moment of his long career at Hillsborough.
The Wednesday Player of the Year on two separate occasions; 2013/14 and 2022/23, ‘Palms’ has lived and breathed everything SWFC from an early age. From supporting the club as a young boy, coming through the youth system, making his debut almost a decade and a half ago, two promotions, a goal on his 350th appearance at Bolton, an iconic play-off equaliser in the miracle of Hillsborough and a goal on the final day last season to help the Owls achieve survival – Palmer has been through it all!
On Saturday 3 August, the SWFC community can come together to celebrate Palmer’s testimonial fixture in S6, which will also provide Danny Röhl’s squad with a useful final warm-up fixture ahead of the 2024/25 Championship opener the following week. Further details to follow in due course.
