A CHARITY which gives youngsters with life-limiting illnesses a chance to lead a normal life is set to get a free professional promotional film made about its work.

Noah's Ark Children's Hospice, based in Barnet, has been chosen to receive the free filming by the Media Trust which will then be broadcast on the Community Channel.

Film makers will follow the staff and children who benefit from their work and the charity will get versions of it to put online and media and PR advice for free.

Amanda Whittington, project manager at Media Trust said: “We have had an amazing response to the scheme this year. For small charities with limited resources, this is an opportunity to have a professional film made about their charity, allowing them to get their voices heard and raise awareness in a way they might not have been able to before.

We are very proud to be working with such worthwhile charities who are working tirelessly to improve the lives of young people.”
