Noah's Ark Children's Hospice

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." ❤️

Meet Rory, our Noah's Ark mascot, who is all set in his away kit for the Spurs Women's game this Saturday, dedicated to Noah's Ark! Rory will be out there waving our flag and giving out hand flags to the crowd, all on a mission to raise awareness and gather support. ⚽🤍 With your help, we can be there for those who need us the most. It costs over £6 million each year to keep Noah’s Ark running, providing essential care and support to families facing life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. As the demand for our services continues to grow, so do our costs. Help us make a difference. Text NOAH to 70490 to donate £10 today.

Our recent sensory light show was a celebration filled with vibrant colours, offering families a wonderful opportunity to gather and enjoy the festivities of Diwali, Fireworks Night, and more. The evening included arts and crafts activities such as creating elephants, designing colourful Rangoli patterns, decorating biscuits and making bracelets. 🪄 Swipe to see some of the fun! 👉

A Special Spurs Surprise! ⚽💙 Excitement filled the air as Tottenham Hotspur stars Bethany England and Hayley Raso visited The Ark! In anticipation of their big derby match dedicated to Noah’s Ark this Saturday, the duo toured our hospice, sharing playful moments with Willow and Ruby in our accessible playground and soft play room. 🎉 Saturday's game offers fans a chance to support Noah’s Ark as Spurs' Charity Partner, helping to raise awareness and generate vital funds. With the incredible Spurs fanbase behind us, we can continue to be there for those who need us the most. Stay tuned for more updates on our exciting collaboration! 👀

Today is World Kindness Day, but at Noah’s Ark, we celebrate kindness every day! 🌍 We’re on a mission to make the world a kinder place, one lesson plan at a time. That’s why we’ve created a super fun and engaging lesson plan for schools, perfect for all ages from EYFS to KS4! Our plan is packed with exciting resources, including an animated video, hands-on activities, and posters that encourage everyone to practice kindness in their daily lives. 🌈 Our Community Engagement Officers, Aaya and Becca, shared: "Recently, we created kindness chains with the students. Each student wrote down a small act of kindness, and we connected all their ideas to form a chain. This project demonstrated how even a small kind action can connect us and create a positive impact that grows over time. Together, we all have the power to build a more caring community."

We are looking for passionate Healthcare Assistants to join our team. ❤️ You’ll be based in our state-of-the-art children’s hospice building, The Ark, set in a north London nature reserve.
