Noah's Ark Children's Hospice are running their 'From That Moment' campaign aiming to raise over £1 million, so that children who are seriously unwell, and their families, can live fully and make the most of every day. ❤️ Throughout autumn, every £ raised will be DOUBLED, meaning that together, our support can go even further. If you would like to donate, you can do so here: https://lnkd.in/eXGaU6_M
🌱 Giving Back with Heart at Noah's Ark Children's Hospice 🌱 Yesterday, some of our team had the privilege of spending the day volunteering in the gardens of Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice, and it was nothing short of inspiring. With gloves on and spirits high, they joined forces to help maintain the beautiful outdoor spaces that mean so much to the children, families, and staff at the hospice. "The Ark was so much more than I could have imagined. The facilities were first-class and every last detail was thought of, from the ball-pit in the soft play room, to the plunge pool. After seeing first hand how dedicated and passionate their incredible staff are, I can see why the best football team in the league, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, proudly back them!" - Michael Halvey If you’re looking for a way to give back, we wholeheartedly encourage you to learn more about the incredible work Noah’s Ark does and how you can support them — whether through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading the word. Throughout Autumn Noah's Ark's From That Moment campaign also means that every £ raised will be DOUBLED, meaning that together, our support can go even further.
