  Day after day children and young people in our community experience bereavement and grief. It is a sad fact but true that there are a large number who need support.

Noah's Ark Trust is a charity that offers grief support to bereaved children and young people in Herefordshire & Worcestershire.

Through our residential weekends, in the beautiful surroundings of The Malvern Hills Outdoor Centre, children make friends, share experiences, remember the person who has died and learn to have fun again.

Michael’s Story

   
 

Janey (8) and Michael (6) were two normal, energetic, fun loving youngsters, well loved and cared for by James and Caroline, their parents.
One evening in July, the family was in their car when it was involved in a collision with a truck near Kidderminster. James died instantly and Janey later that evening, with Mum and Michael at their bedside.

That was three months ago. Since then, Michael has not slept a single night away from Mum and clings desperately to her at the start of each school day. He cannot concentrate and lashes out at friends over the slightest thing. Mum has had to return to work for financial reasons; she is locked in ongoing legal battles over insurance cover, liability for the accident and life assurance payments.

All this on top of day to day domestic responsibilities and the need to be there for Michael, fulfilling the role of both mother and father to him. She feels increasingly isolated and unable to ask friends and family for any more help.

Noah's Ark is there to help. We can provide the support and reassurance for Mum and be there for Michael to help him begin to acknowledge and understand his loss, and move towards building a new life without their loved ones.

 
Please help us to continue to provide hope and help. Providing our service free of charge is vital so we can help families like these, ensuring they are not left isolated when they are most in need.
