Organisation Profile: Noah’s A.R.T. is a progressive, innovative and therapeutic service developed by an experienced mental health nurse – Sharon Hall. Our goal is to utilise the human-animal bond to increase wellbeing. We have over 7 years experience visiting care homes, learning disability groups & NHS mental health wards with our therapy animals. We work with dogs, cats, rats, mice and rescue rabbits and guinea pigs. As well as our visiting service we run from the Together Centre @ Loxley House every Tuesday & Thursday. Here we provide a safe space to relax, have a cuppa & some cake, be creative doing arts and crafts and take part in fun activities with our animals!
