Dame Helen will bring a beloved cello dating back to the Second World War and which belongs to Denville Hall, a north London care home for people who have worked in the entertainment industry.
The Oscar award-winning actress is a supporter of the care home and will look to expert Becky Houghton to help give the cello some much-needed care of its own.
The cello was left to Denville Hall by theatre director Martin Landau. Originally from Germany, Landau fled on the Kinder transport, but his cello was broken by the Nazis before he was able to get on the train.
