Meet Nikki. ❤️ Nikki has been volunteering for Noah’s Ark for six years. With a background in Special Educational Needs, Nikki plays a vital role here at Noah’s Ark as one of our Community Ambassadors. Nikki helps children in our local schools to better understand what a children's hospice is and the essential support we provide. “[Volunteering for Noah’s Ark] speaks to my personal ethos: embedding values of kindness and giving back. You never know – giving these talks may inspire the next generation to become care staff, fundraisers, or even medical researchers.” Read more about Nikki and how, like her, you can give back: https://lnkd.in/eqd3nUwe

We help babies, children, and young people who are seriously unwell, and their families, make the most of every day.
About us
Our vision is for every baby, child, and young person who is seriously unwell, and their loved ones, to have access to expert and compassionate palliative care from the point of diagnosis. We help children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions, and their families, make the most of every day - and support those who die young to do so in as much comfort as possible, surrounded by family. We are here to enable those we support to enjoy life as children, rather than as patients; as families, not just as carers. Our staff and trained volunteers provide clinical, emotional and practical support for families across north and central London, as well as Herts Valley.

Due to its popularity and the generosity of our supporters, we’re delighted to share that Noah’s Ark on Holiday is expanding! 🌞🌻 Over the past two years, 75 families we support have enjoyed a week-long, self-catered holiday at our fully accessible lodge on Mersea Island, located in the beautiful Essex countryside. We are thrilled to share that we now have a second lodge! Our new lodge is currently undergoing adaptation and refurbishment, so stay tuned for its grand opening next year. We can't wait to offer holidays to twice as many families! 💛

We’re delighted to have achieved the Investing in Volunteers accreditation! This milestone reflects the dedication and hard work of our Volunteering Team, Noah’s Ark staff, and all of our remarkable volunteers. ❤️ #InvestingInVolunteers #VolunteerManagement
Noah's Ark Children's Hospice achieved their first award this year and discovered many benefits throughout the process, especially thanks to getting so many staff and volunteers involved. This is what they had to say after achieving #InvestingInVolunteers: "We're all delighted to have achieved Investing in Volunteers status and we've thoroughly enjoyed every part of the process to get here! The IIV process has helped us put things in place that make our volunteering more robust and improve areas where we had gaps. "A highlight for us was creating a 'skills register', where volunteers could share skills they were willing to help the charity with outside of their regular volunteering role. The best part is that this was an idea from one that one of our volunteers suggested!" bit.ly/IiVquote #VolunteerManagement

Add a light to our virtual tree and remember the life of someone special. 🎄🌟 This winter, we are excited to launch our very first Virtual Tree of Lights. You can dedicate a light on our tree in memory of a loved one and include a message, photo, or special memory. We kindly request a small donation in return. Your donation, made in their memory, will not only illuminate the tree but will also make a meaningful difference for the families we support. 🕯️✨ Dedicate your light to our Tree of Lights at https://lnkd.in/eUECngcE

An unforgettable day at the North London Derby! Noah’s Ark partnered with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club to create a truly special matchday experience, celebrating our incredible partnership. 💙⚽ The stadium buzzed with excitement as fans waved our flags, and they cheered as Noah's Ark mascot, Rory, paraded alongside Chirpy and Lily. It was an especially meaningful day for the Noah's Ark siblings - Arthur joined his dad on the pitch at half-time for a chat with Spurs MC Paul Coyte, while Hamza shined as a star mascot! 🎤 A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered, fundraised and donated to help us support children who are seriously unwell and their families. 🤍

A beautiful Christmas tree is now shining at The Ark, spreading joy and festive cheer to all who see it. It was generously donated last year by the wonderful team at The Dorchester, and this year, they returned with their designer florist to decorate the tree perfectly. Thank you for your generosity and for filling The Ark with Christmas spirit once again. 🎄🌟

This Children's Grief Awareness Week, we wanted to share some advice from our care team on how to support children who are grieving. ❤️ Listen and give them support 💜 Use straight-forward language 💙 Be accepting of all questions and thoughts 🧡 Remember that like adults, children grieve in different ways 💛 Be open to talking about the person who has died Everyone grieves differently, including children, and it can be hard to know what the ‘right’ thing is to do to support them. If we can give children the space to talk about their feelings and express their emotions, we are supporting their mental health now and in the future. #CGAW24 #mentalhealthmatters #griefsupport #griefsupportforkids

We absolutely love this photo from our recent Family Activities event; it perfectly captures the essence of what Jo, our Family Link Team Lead, shared about Noah's Ark: "From the moment a family is referred to Noah's Ark, we can provide support, guidance, and hope. We understand that every moment is precious, and we want to make the most of every minute together. Sometimes, it’s simply about spending family time, being together, meeting other families, and feeling part of a community." ❤️
