Noah's Ark Children's Hospital Charity
About This Funder
Noah's Ark Children's Hospital Charity, founded in the late 1990s following a public campaign, is the dedicated fundraising arm for Noah's Ark Children's Hospital for Wales—the nation's sole specialist paediatric facility in Cardiff. Its core mission is to ensure every child with serious, chronic, complex conditions, disabilities, cancer, or critical illness receives world-class, child-centred care in a supportive environment, extending emotional and practical aid to families. Guided by values of compassion, partnership, innovation, and equity, the charity collaborates exclusively with Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, funding needs the NHS cannot cover to enhance clinical capacity, alleviate suffering, and foster brighter futures for Welsh children.
It prioritises cutting-edge medical equipment (e.g., MRI scanners, surgical tech, hydrotherapy pools), family-friendly environments, play therapy services (tens of thousands of hours annually), emotional support, staff training technologies, and urgent hospital needs like new departments or cancer pathways. Beneficiaries are exclusively hospital patients from across Wales and their families, with grants yielding measurable outcomes in clinical activity, staff feedback, and testimonials.
Eligibility is highly restrictive: only NHS Trusts like Cardiff and Vale University Health Board qualify as existing partners; no unsolicited applications from external charities, grassroots groups, or others. Geographically limited to Wales, with no income/size rules but focus on large-scale hospital-embedded initiatives. Grants range from £10,000 to £500,000+ (often six figures for capital), awarded rolling via internal consultation—no public deadlines, open rounds, or online forms.
Distinctively, as Wales' only hospital-specific child health fundraiser, it eschews generalist or unrestricted support, core costs, seed funding, or non-hospital projects, emphasising transparent, needs-driven stewardship of donations for enduring hospital partnerships.
