The Maddie & Noah Foundation
Supporting neonatal parents every step of the way
Who Are We
The Maddie and Noah Foundation is a non-profit charity focused on supporting families through their neonatal journey and beyond. Founded in 2017, and launched in 2022 following a personal experience of the neonatal unit, where Vikki suffered the devastating loss of her twins Maddie and Noah.
The Foundation was founded as a response to the deep grief and overwhelming loss experienced by Vikki and her family, who recognised a significant gap in support for others going through a similar journey. In the face of such profound sorrow, we realised how critical it was to have a strong support system in place. Out of our own pain, we were inspired to create a community that would offer comfort, guidance and resources to families navigating life through neonatal. Maddie and Noah's legacy is a testament of turning personal tragedy into something meaningful by helping through the darkest moments with the support we lacked during our own hardship.
We are rooted in the belief that we all have an inherent responsibility to make a meaningful difference
