Legacy - Free-Will - Noahs Ark Children's Hospital Charity

Leave a gift in your Will

Leaving a lasting legacy

A gift made in your Will could help save young lives. Legacies left to the Noah’s Ark Charity fund vital equipment and facilities and support families through the most difficult of times.

As a member of the National Free Wills Network, we can offer you the opportunity to have a simple will prepared for free by a local solicitor. To take part, call 029 2084 7310 or email us with your full address and telephone number.

Once our team has referred you, you’ll receive an information pack with a voucher code and the details of at least two local participating solicitors. You can then contact your preferred solicitor to book an appointment. If your Will is more complicated, there may be an additional cost which will be agreed between you and the solicitor beforehand.

Clark and Judy's story

Clark wouldn’t be here without the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales. He was so ill with meningitis that doctors didn’t expect him to survive. But thanks to the hospital and the equipment that our supporters help us to provide, he’s now living life to the full.

Judy’s brother, Mark, left a gift in his Will when he sadly passed away in 2015. She paid a visit to the children’s hospital to see her brother’s legacy in action and met Clark and his parents.

Judy said: “It’s been a privilege to meet Clark and hear his remarkable story today. It’s hard to imagine watching him run around so full of beans that without this hospital, he simply wouldn’t be here. It feels like a real honour to think that my family has played a small part in helping to keep this lovely family, and many others like them, together. There’s no greater tribute to my brother than that.”

A Gift of Hope: Karen’s story

When I think back to the hardest days of our lives, those long, frightening hours spent at the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. My daughter, Lily, was just 14 when she took a fall, awkwardly landing on her head during trampolining practice, in June 2022. Lily was obsessed with sports and gearing up for her GCSEs at the time. Over the days that followed, Lily started suffering from intense headaches and double vision and became unsteady on her feet.  After consulting with 111, we rushed Lily to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. By this point she had been sick with the pain from the headache and could not walk into A&E. Lily’s brain scan showed she had a brain aneurysm that was about to rupture. From there, we were told we needed to be airlifted to Bristol Children’s Hospital because Lily wouldn’t make it in time by road.
