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.  

Their vision is that every child, regardless of their health condition, receives the palliative care support they need to live life to the fullest. Their mission is to catalyse change, scale investments, and build a supportive community to advance paediatric palliative care globally.  

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice (Noah’s Ark) are proud to be part of the Global Treehouse family, supporting them to build a community of locally rooted, globally connected initiatives to transform children’s palliative care worldwide. 

Together with over 60 other Children’s Palliative Care (CPC) providers from over 20 countries, Noah’s Ark helped to create The Magnify Tool (Magnify). Magnify is an open-source customisable data tool for children’s palliative care providers/teams to share and explore service data and information to help CPC providers identify their strengths and areas for improvement in service delivery. Magnify has over 100 metrics aligned into 10 focus areas, from holistic clinician practices with families to considerations of facility needs by offering real-world case examples, relevant resources, and evidence-informed articles aligned by metric.

Noah’s Ark created two teams, made up of staff and led by our Medical Directors, who worked on two metrics to showcase to other participating CPS’: 

  • Focus 2 - Holistic Palliative Care Provision
