We are raffling off two terrariums and a luxury houseplant hamper to raise money for Noah's Ark Children's Hospice, who cared for my nephew Arthur and his parents, my sister Ani and her partner Barclay, during his short life and after his passing. Any money raised will go towards improving the quality of life for children with life limiting illnesses and their families as well as providing support after their passing.

Please note, tickets for the raffle must be purchased via plantandpaint.co.uk so that we have your details for the draw. Donations made directly to this page are of course welcome, but will not be entered into the draw. The raffle will begin on Friday the 30th May and will close at 7pm on Thursday 12th June, Arthur's birthday. Then the full amount raised during the raffle will be donated to this Just Giving page. The winner's will be drawn on Friday the 13th June.

Please head to plantandpaint.co.uk for full details on what we're raffling off and how to enter. If you are not local to Hull but would like to support this fundraiser, please donate directly to this page.

Thank you so much to any one who takes part in the raffle or donates to this page.

From my sister, Ani:

On the 12th June our son, Arthur, would have turned five. To celebrate his life, Barclay and I have decided to fundraise for Noah's Ark Children's Hospice. We are asking our friends, family and colleagues to come together for Arthur's fifth year. After Arthur died, our family were all able to say goodbye to him at home and then Barclay & I spent time with Arthur at The Ark. These extra moments were so important to us, and without Noah's Ark it wouldn't have been possible. We will never be able to thank Noah's Ark enough.

No matter where you are in the world, you can get stuck in. We will fundraise from 12th June 2025 for a full year, to raise as much as we can to celebrate Arthur's life and support other families like ours. Sign up for an event or create your own, whatever suit you! Something we can all do is help support Noah's Ark with a donation. Please give as much as you can afford, gift aid it and encourage those you know to give too.

Thank you so much for your support.
