10th Anniversary Patron

We are delighted to announce that Rosalind Plowright OBE has accepted to become our 10th Anniversary Patron. Rosalind has supported the charity since it was founded in 1998, and has given two recitals to raise funds and awareness. Her first recital in January 1999 filled the Godolphin School's Blackledge Theatre. To celebrate the charity's 5th Anniversary Rosalind opened a Gala Concert with Sir John Tooley and James Bowman CBE. Today she is sought after as one of the world's leading mezzo sopranos. On being asked to join Patron and President Chris Moon MBE and Andrew Harvey as our 10th Anniversary Parton Rosalind said:
