Welcome to a round-up of all our latest news for families that we support.

What's On at Noah's Ark

Home Hairdressing Service

We recently recruited a Volunteer Hairdresser who can offer a free haircut to your family at your home. We currently offer this service in Harrow, Barnet and Camden areas and hope to expand this service if more families are interested. 

Speak to your Family Link Worker to find out more.

Extra Helping Hands

Our team of Home Support Volunteers can provide extra support to your family in your home.

Fully trained, our Home Support Volunteers can provide practical support around the home with one-off visits to help with tasks such as decorating (painting walls), ironing, gardening and even packing for a house move.

If you need support with a task, please contact your Family Link worker to see if one of our volunteers can help.

Building a Community

As well as our popular Parent Group which runs once a month, we also have a Dad’s and Grandad’s Group and a Mum’s and Grandma’s Group. These are opportunities for a fun night out with other Noah’s Ark parent and carers.

Our Family Activities Team will supply you with a calendar of activities every 3 months. You can also email the team.

Life Links Group for Young People

Our new young people's group, Life Links, is for ages 14 - 18, who can consent to attending and participating in the group themselves. The group aims to build peer relationships and develop life skills whilst having fun.

The first session focused on budgeting and managing money. We played games to help young people to understand budgeting, made bubble tea and had pizza.

Find out more about how we can help you transition from child to adult services. Or speak to your Family Link Worker.

Your Family’s Interests

We love helping families to make memories. Make sure you keep us up to date with all your latest family’s interests – like your favourite football team – so that as opportunities arise we can contact you about meet-and-greets with sports stars and celebrities or tickets to special events and activities.

Let your Family Link Worker know.
