Vibert Noble

Vibert Noble is a keen supporter of several charities, including the UN World Food Programme’s ShareTheMeal, Eiripan and the Mercy Rescue Trust. The latter is a baby rescue centre in Kitale, Kenya that has rescued more than 400 babies to date. Vibert first met Jedidah, the manager of the latter organisation, when she was volunteering at a South African children’s home at the same time as his younger son.

As a keen eclipse chaser, Vibert has travelled to the United States, Antarctica, the Faroe Islands, Mexico and Indonesia in order to experience solar eclipses. He has visits planned to Spain, Egypt, and Australia or New Zealand in 2026, 2027 and 2028 respectively to experience further eclipses.

Vibert loves to travel and regularly visits La Palma, which is one of the smaller Canary Islands. This location is a perfect for enjoying his other passion, star gazing, due to the island’s particularly dark night skies. Vibert also travels to Lapland every January and has undertaken several road trips in the United States, including trips to the Yosemite and Yellowstone National Parks.

To relax, Vibert practices tai chi twice a week and walks in his local area of the Vale of Belvoir, where he has lived with his wife for the last four years. He enjoys going to the gym a few times a week, photography, and has recently started learning Spanish. Vibert holds memberships with his local theatre and independent cinema, something that reflects his very broad taste in shows, films and music. He supports the football team Crystal Palace and the Trent Rockets, his local Hundred cricket team in Nottingham.
