Like many organisations, New Ark has been hit hard by Covid 19 and the subsequent restrictions and lockdowns. All aspects of our childcare and support provision had to close, although we continued to care for the welfare of our animals on our city farm. As a charity, we rely heavily on volunteers’ assistance, donations and our fundraising events, which we have been unable to hold for two years. We were also reliant on significant funding from Peterborough City Council, which they have regrettably now withdrawn in full. Inflationary pressures plus the energy crisis, which has seen our bills rise to thousands of pounds per month, has put us under considerable financial pressure.
New Ark has been bringing joy to the children of our community for more than forty years, and we want to secure its future for many more years to come. We urgently need funds to keep New Ark viable and a source of enjoyment, enrichment and happiness for many future generations of children
