Research

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice (NACH) have partnered with University College London (UCL) to undertake a research project focused on increasing diversity within our 200-strong volunteer community.

HOPSCOTCH (Helping Optimise Primary Care Support During Transition From Children's Hospice Care) was set up in 2024 (funded till August 2027) as a cross-disciplinary initiative designed to understand and identify opportunities to enhance engagement of General Practitioners (GPs) in the coordination and delivery of care to young people as they transition from children’s hospices.  

The Global Treehouse Foundation (Global Treehouse) is a UK-registered charity dedicated to building strong, innovative children's palliative care systems worldwide. Established in 2021, it connects providers and investors to accelerate new services, with a focus on assisting eight million children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions.  

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice are proud to be part of the Collaboration of Paediatric Palliative Care Research (CoPPAR) Network, a national collaboration to strengthen research in children’s palliative care. The CoPPAR Network is led by Professor Lorna Fraser, a Professor of Palliative Care and Child Heath at Kings College London and a member of Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice’s Board of Trustees.
