We are a group of fundraisers from North London known as OLSGEIRE. Our aim is to promote and support smaller local charities and community groups that mean something to us.

OLSGEIRE will be cycling 260 KM around the West of Ireland 8-11th June 2024 to support children who are seriously unwell make the most of every day.

OUR STORY

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice was established by Michael McInerney following the death of a child in his close family in a local hospital. Unhappy with the options available for the child, he launched Noah’s Ark’s care for children and families in 2006 after years of fundraising.

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice helps babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families, make the most of every day. And the charity supports those who do die young to do so in as much comfort as possible, surrounded by family.

By providing exceptional care, organising fun activities and days out, Noah’s Ark helps families do things they never thought possible. We help those we support to enjoy life as children, rather than as patients; as families, not just as carers. We support over 350 children and families across North and Central London every year.

We believe that every baby, child and young person who is seriously unwell, and their loved ones, should have access to expert and compassionate palliative care from the point of diagnosis. Partnering with London’s NHS trusts we have built a home, a community and a team to make that difference.
