Hayley Westenra

We are delighted that Hayley Westenra has joined us as a Vice-President of the Dame Vera Lynn Trust.

Hayley is a classical artist, born in New Zealand and has been performing since the tender age of six. She is now twenty two years of age and has become a very successful performer and recording artist. To date she has sold more than four million albums worldwide and performed all over the world.

On a hot sunny day in July we were very honoured to have Hayley make a visit to the School and she was joined on the same day by Dame Vera Lynn. She met all the staff at the Trust Office and was very interested to learn about the Charity and how we raise the funds for the School for Parents. Hayley said “I’m delighted to take on the role of Vice-President of the Dame Vera Lynn Trust. The school provides a wonderful service by supporting parents of young children with cerebral palsy and other related conditions, it really is a fantastic school”. If her schedule allows it, she would love to be able to attend some of our fundraising events.

Hayley then joined Dame Vera in a tour of the school and spent time talking with the staff and parents to gain an understanding of the vital service that the School provides. She then interacted with the children and observed them in the teaching environment.

Hayley kindly donated a pair of tickets for her Christmas tour as an Auction prize for the celebration dinner on 10th October, together with the opportunity to meet her backstage after the concert. Due to work commitments, she was unable to attend the dinner but we thank her for her support.

We are very pleased to have such an enthusiastic and approachable ambassador for the Charity.
