8 August 2025
Our annual autumn campaign, ‘From that Moment’ is back for its fourth year and bigger than ever with even more ways to get involved!
Noah's Ark needs to hit a campaign target of £1m to meet our annual costs of over £7m. We are appealing to our supporters and local community to help us be there for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families.
The campaign runs from Monday 1st September to Monday 13th October and, as always, every donation will be doubled* thanks to the generosity of our backers.
Supporters can get ready for the start of the campaign by signing up to our charity’s new virtual challenge, Step-tember, by organising their own fundraising event or buying a ticket to ‘Glitz and Giving’.
A Sparkling Night Out
Glitz and Giving returns for its second year on Saturday 20th September 2025! TV Presenter and Radio DJ Melvin Odoom will be back on the decks and guests will be treated to close-up magic by Stephen Barry, a multi-award-winning magician. One lucky guest will, once again, walk away with a 1ct, ethically sourced diamond, courtesy of our generous sponsor V Jewellers.
Tickets are £80 which includes flowing bubbles and a mouth-watering selection of nibbles, small plates and sharing platters (all profits will support Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice). Tickets are available here.
Melvin Odoom, a friend of Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice said:
"I’m really excited to be Djing again at Glitz and Giving, last year’s event was amazing and raised lots of money for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice, a cause that’s really close to my heart."
If that’s not your thing, there are many other ways to support the campaign:
Become a Champion
Use your voice to make a difference. For the last 36 hours of the appeal we need loud voices and big hearts to help reach our target. By sharing your fundraising page, you’ll get double the donations to help us reach our target.
Fundraise for Us
Whether you fundraise on your own or with your community, you can make a huge difference this autumn. Host a quiz, take on a run, organise a bake sale or something completely your own - and know that every pound you raise will be matched. Noah’s Ark will provide you with everything you need to make fundraising simple, meaningful and fun.
This year we are also launching two brand-new virtual challenge events to make it even easier to help your local children’s hospice. Step-tember, invites individuals to take on 90 Miles in September. Whether you walk, run, cycle, wheel, swim, hop or skip, challenge yourself to travelling 90 miles this September and every pound you raise will make a life-changing difference.
Companies can also make a difference by taking part in the Walking 9-5 challenge, a step-counting, team-building, feel-good fundraising challenge just for businesses.
Our CEO, Sophie Andrew OBE said:
"For the last three years we’ve looked to our community for support during our autumn appeal and they haven’t let us down. As the need for our services grow and costs rise, we need to once more appeal to our community’s generosity. Every donation helps us continue our work - making every moment matter for seriously ill children and their families."
