A hospice which provides support to babies, children and young people with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses across London has been named as the charity partner of a major heating, plumbing and air movement materials retailer.

Barnet-based Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice will receive the support of kind-hearted colleagues, customers and suppliers of TG Lynes, based in Enfield.

Noah’s Ark is one of the UK’s leading children’s hospices, providing care for over 350 children and their families every year.

Natasha Davis Whitehead, marketing and communications manager at Noah’s Ark, said: “We are thrilled to be the charity partner of TG Lynes, a leading business in the local area.

“Our commitment is to provide every baby, child or young person who is seriously unwell with access to expert and compassionate palliative care from the point of diagnosis, as well as creating a friendly environment which feels as much as possible like home for them and their families.

“While recognising the extremely tough challenges they are facing, we want to provide a platform for each of the children we care for and their families to live as normal and enjoyable life as possible.

“Support from companies such as TG Lynes makes a very significant difference to the offering we can provide, particularly in the wake of the pandemic which has stretched the resources of all charities.”

Amongst the fundraising events scheduled in by TG Lynes, which is celebrating its 110th anniversary in 2022, are charity golf days and a gala dinner, as well as a number of internal events.

Martin Hastings, Managing Director at TG Lynes, said: “Given the proximity of Noah’s Ark to where our colleagues work, and for the most part live, we are all aware of the outstanding work the charity does for hundreds of youngsters across London each year.

“We have raised funds for Noah’s Ark in the past so, when we were looking for a charity partner to support during our special anniversary year, it was a straight-forward decision from colleagues as to which one we would select.

“The support and care Noah’s Ark provides both the children and their families at an extremely difficult time is outstanding and we hope the contributions we will make throughout the year will go some way to support this incredible charity.”
