Once you’re referred to Noah’s Ark our unique Family Link team will guide, support and advocate for your family.
Once your referral has been accepted our Family Link Team are your first point of contact.
The Family Link Team will be a constant, reassuring presence throughout your time with us, offering guidance, advocacy, moral support and someone to whom you can talk.
Your Link Worker will carry out an initial assessment visit to help you identify the support that would be the most beneficial to you. We carry out reviews at least annually so we can adjust our services to your current needs.

Our Support
Navigating the complex world of health and social care can be challenging, our Family Link Team can help by offering you:
Practical support – helping you with benefit applications, housing issues, taxi cards and blue badges.
Signposting – so you can access appropriate resources from other local organisations and charitable grants.
Moral support and advocacy – offering support writing letters or attending meetings and appointments with education, healthcare and social care services.
Emotional support – we understand it can be hard coping with a diagnosis or prognosis. Sometimes a cup of tea and a listening ear can help. We cannot change or treat the diagnosis, but we will stand side by side with you through every step of your journey.
Our team will always do everything they can so your family can make the most of your time together. We can give individual emotional support and offer access to our other services:
