Our Story

Some stories don't begin with answers. Ours began with waiting.

The Beginning

When our little boy, Noa, was still so young, we began to notice early signs that he was experiencing the world differently. He struggled with things that other children seemed to manage more easily, yet again and again, our concerns were dismissed.

Like so many families, we were told to wait. To wait for age milestones. To wait for services. To wait for support that always seemed just out of reach.

The Realisation

Like so many families, we felt isolated, coping as best we could while carrying the weight of unanswered questions. We were exhausted, overwhelmed, and left wondering how long it would be before someone stepped in.

That's when we realised something important: the real struggle isn't only about getting a diagnosis or therapies. It's about the silence in between — the waiting, the gap where families are left to cope alone.

No family should have to face that silence by themselves.

That's Why We're Building Noa's Place

A safe, inclusive hub where children and adults with additional needs are supported, celebrated, and given space to belong — not years from now, but today.

A place with sensory rooms, soft play, classrooms, a café, and even a charity shop, all designed to bring joy, relief, and connection to families before they reach breaking point.

Because help should not come after the crisis; it should come before.

Because no child should feel left out.

Because no parent should feel invisible.

We are building this with faith, love, and determination. Noa's Place is not just a building; it is a promise that families do not have to wait alone.

And we would love for you to stand with us as we make it a reality.
