Dr Tagore Charles, chief operating officer at Noah's Ark Children's Hospice, expressed gratitude for the community's contribution. "I’m delighted that we not only reached but exceeded our £1 million target," Dr Charles stated. "The generosity of our community makes an enormous difference to Noah’s Ark and will help us continue providing vital care and support to children who are seriously unwell and their families, when they need us most."
The campaign saw support from various individuals and organisations. Notable figures lending their names included Alex Fine, Sir Alan Sugar, Conor Gallagher, Sophie Rundle, and Rankin. Alex Fine collaborated with After School Cookie Club to create a limited-edition cookie, with all profits directed to the hospice.

Corporate partners played a significant role, particularly through the Walking 9 to 5 challenge. Payen Ltd, a corporate partner, raised £148,300 and collectively surpassed one million steps during this initiative. Richard Smith, founder of Payen Ltd, highlighted the campaign's social and competitive aspects, noting its positive impact on company engagement and fundraising.
Individual efforts also contributed substantially. Sophie Evans, a specialist carer at the hospice, and her wife Leah completed a skydive to raise funds. The Step-tember challenge, encouraging participants to cover 90 miles during September, was another key element of the fundraising drive.
