Support For Bereaved Families
We understand what life can be like after a child sadly dies.
Here you can find information about the support we can offer you and your family.
This may be useful if you have just been referred to Noah’s Ark, or if you are considering using our services.
Bereavement Support
Our Bereavement Support Team understand what life can be like for a family after a child dies, and are here to help you through the days, weeks, months and years ahead. Our caring and compassionate team can offer practical and emotional support, as well as just being someone to speak to.
We can offer free bereavement support to your family for three years and three months after your child has died. We will be there for you on every step of your journey, no matter what you are feeling.
