corns Children’s Hospice provide palliative care and support for children and young people who have life limiting or life threatening conditions. This means they are unlikely to reach adulthood. In the last year Acorns has supported over 700 children and more than 1,050 families, including those who are bereaved. Acorns provides respite/short break, emergency and end-of-life care, with a community team to support the family 24-hours a day, seven days a week.


Acorns Children’s Hospice A


Acorns relies on the community to fund the majority of its activities. It currently costs over £8 million a year to support our families. Acorns has three 10-bed children’s hospices: Acorns in Birmingham (located in Selly Oak), Acorns in the Black Country (located in Walsall) and Acorns for the Three Counties (located in Worcester).


We urgently need your support to help us continue to provide specialist care services. For more information or to make a donation visit www.acorns.org.uk
