Noah's Ark Trust is a local charity, founded in 1998, which provides a grief support service for children, young people and their families throughout Herefordshire & Worcestershire

.
Professional staff and trained volunteers work on a one-to-one basis with children and young people aged 5 - 18 years who have experienced the death of a parent, relative or someone close. The support and guidance given, which is free of charge, is tailored to meet individual need

.
Children and young people can participate in residential activity weekends, which are held 5 times a year at Malvern Hills Outdoor Education Centre. The children and young people have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of activities and physical challenges, which boost their confidence and self-esteem. They meet others in a similar situation, share their experiences and feelings and remember the person who has died and learn to face the future with hope. Parents/carers can also attend the weekends and take part in separate activities.

Referrals can be made by family members or people working with children, such as teachers and social workers for more information go to http://www.noahsarktrust.co.uk/default.aspx
