A Child's Right to Grieve

HOW DO YOU TELL A CHILD FROM OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY THAT THEY NEED TO WAIT FOR OUR SUPPORT FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF THEIR LOVED ONE?

Sadly, 120 children are in this position. As a result of our awareness raising campaign we have seen a large increase in the number of referrals over the last six months, highlighting the need and importance of our service within the local community. Noah’s Ark Trust have already supported 899 children this year but by helping us to raise an additional £32,320 we can provide the children on our waiting list with the support they need at this critical time in their lives.

David, aged 12, who was supported earlier this year said:

“The one thing that made me angry the most, was that I felt it was my fault. I remember sitting in my room thinking it shouldn’t have been my dad, it should have been me. All of those thoughts have gone and it is all good thoughts and memories. I wanted someone to talk to me, but someone who knew how I felt. Noah’s Ark Trust has made a big difference to my life it has helped me lots.”

Thank you so much for supporting our campaign and giving us the ability to provide 120 children on our waiting list the same opportunity as David to explore their feelings of grief and to work towards a brighter future without their loved ones.
