Donating Items to Noah's Ark
If you would like to donate, please get in touch with our fundraising team, who will be able to advise and organise this with you.
To avoid any disappointment, we ask that you do this before coming to The Ark with items to donate.
Gifts for Children and Families
We give birthday presents to the children and siblings we support that are hand-picked to suit their needs and interests. Our care team regularly keep our Amazon Wishlist up to date with items that will be most suited to those we support.
To gift an item you can view our Amazon Wishlist. Thank you for supporting families in need.
FAQs
We are often overwhelmed with the generosity from our supports, particularly during holiday periods, and receive more gifts than we can give to children and families. The Ark is our only hospice building and source of storage, which means we may simply run out of space to store items for future use.
If this is the case, we may unfortunately not be able to accept your gifts.
Donating funds to support our life-changing care is the one of the best ways to have a real impact.

- Used Toys
- Clothing
- We do not have charity shops, so we cannot accept drop-offs or unwanted items
We may be able to accept items for fundraising. This may be a valuable item you own, or something you have created. We may auction them at an event, include them in raffle prizes or sell them on our eBay shop. If you have an item you would like to donate, please get in touch with the team.
We may be able to accept larger gifts, such as bikes, gaming consoles or tickets to an event, as gifts for children and families. The care team work to allocate these to families as fairly possible, either by randomly selecting or by prioritising based on the child and families circumstances.
