Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice’s annual flagship appeal, ‘From That Moment’ launched at the start of September 2025 with a target of £1 million to help with the running costs of the hospice which currently stand at over £7m per year. During the campaign, individuals, schools, and businesses in the community pull together to raise funds that make a real difference to the lives of children who are seriously unwell and their families.
The accompanying film to the 2025 campaign, made by MOREVER, an award-winning creative agency in Brighton, features three families that are supported by Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice and explores their experiences of the moment their lives changed forever.
The campaign film was developed in partnership with Nu Creative, an award-winning B-Corp certified branding agency in London, who are leading on the marketing of the campaign.
Nadine and Glenbert Tetteh-Allen from Enfield and their son Montell, 12, have been supported by Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice since Montell was three months old.
Montell was born with Hydrocephalus, which meant that he had excess fluid in his brain which left him with complex needs and requiring specialist care. Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice supports the whole family with fun activities for Montell and his three sisters, Myala,10, Mellyta-May, 6, and Melisha, 4.
Nadine says of Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice: ‘When you’re concerned or worried and you don't know who to turn to, you make that phone call to Noah's Ark and they find a way. They find a way to help you understand the situation and overcome it. That is just life changing for us and there aren’t enough thank yous in the world. They give families like ours a chance and there aren’t a lot of chances out there when you have a disabled child.’
Mariam Titus and Devang Ram Mohan’s baby son, Reiaan, was born at 25 weeks and two days. He faced a lot of challenges because of how early he was born, having issues with his breathing and his stomach for which he needed intestinal surgery. Reiaan then had a bleed on his brain which caused seizures, and he then developed a chest infection which he wasn’t able to fight.
Reiaan was born on the 15th of April 2022 and died on 29th July 2022 - his due date. The family, from Highbury, all received music therapy from Noah’s Ark whilst on the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at University College London Hospital (UCLH) and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and Mariam and Devang now receive bereavement support from the charity.
Mariam says of Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice: ‘They gave us the space to figure out how not to hang on to the anger or the sadness, which is not to say we don't feel it, but we don't hold on to it. We’re really grateful to Noah’s Ark for helping us to find our own path through our grief.’
Helen Bolger and Simon Morley from Barnet and their daughter Ruby, 7, have been supported by Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice since 2023. Ruby has Rett Syndrome, a rare genetic neurological and developmental disorder. Ruby has complex needs, uses a wheelchair, and needs an Eyegaze device to communicate, as she is non-verbal. Ruby has a dedicated Home Support Volunteer and has Specialist Play and Creative Therapy sessions during her respite stays at The Ark. Simon and Helen are part of the parent groups and all the family come to Noah’s Ark’s Family Days.
Simon says of Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice: ‘In that moment when Ruby was diagnosed, compared to now, the difference is enormous in the way that we can deal with it. We feel as though we can make her life as positive as possible and a large part of that is the effect of Noah's Ark and their services and support. All the wonderful things they do for our daughter. It's brilliant.’
