Get Involved
You can make a difference
Whether you donate, fundraise or partner with us, your support helps bring Good Grief Kits to more families and extends the Infinity Initiative into more communities across Northern Ireland.
How your support helps
Support that carries Noah’s legacy forward
Noah’s Story Charity was founded from the McAleese family’s determination that Noah’s life and legacy would continue to make a meaningful difference. Everything your support makes possible - every Good Grief Kit shared, every family supported, every moment of comfort experienced within the Infinity Room - carries that legacy forward.
Expanding the Good Grief programme
Our four age-stage kits - Littles (ages 3–8), Middles (ages 8–12), Teens (ages 12–18) and Adults (18+) - provide practical, age-appropriate opportunities to remember, express feelings, ask questions and create lasting memories. Your support helps these kits reach more bereaved children, young people, adults and families - including kits donated for us to pass on to a grieving child or adult who needs support.
Bringing support into local communities
In 2027, we will establish our first Good Grief Partner Practice - a pilot bringing accessible, grief-informed resources into primary care. From 2028 we aim to expand into further GP practices, so that more families across Northern Ireland can access supportive conversations and grief-informed activities within their own homes and communities.
Growing the Infinity Initiative
The Infinity Room at Causeway Hospital is the cornerstone of our work - a dedicated therapeutic and reflective space offering comfort during crisis, reflection during loss, space for remembrance and hope during heartbreak. Our ambition is to explore additional Infinity Spaces across Northern Ireland and to develop remembrance and wellbeing environments in healthcare and community settings.
Raising awareness of grief and bereavement
We also aim to improve public understanding of grief and bereavement - delivering an annual Good Grief Awareness Campaign, developing community workshops, and creating training for healthcare professionals, social workers, teachers, sports coaches, community leaders and volunteers. Read about our awareness, education and training plans.
