Acorns Children's Hospice

The kindness of local businesses goes a long way to enhancing the specialist care Acorns delivers 👇 Nurses from Acorns in Selly Oak loved getting to treat children to exploring Cadbury World this week - their visit was kindly granted free of charge and it makes such a difference to the children to be able to have these experiences. Thank you to Cadbury World for making this happen!

Don't worry! There's still 10 months before his next heist, but we had to say a huge thank you to Trike Santa, The Grinch and Santas on a Bike who raised an amazing £7,003.81 for Acorns over Christmas 🧡 We really are so grateful to Ryan, Tim, Glenn & James for bringing some Christmas cheer to the hospice. We can't wait to see you again in December 👀 🎅

Providing compassionate end-of-life care is a challenging but vital part of working in a children's hospice. But by caring for families and children during their final days together, our nurses can see first hand the monumental difference that tailored end-of-life care can make, and it's a privilege for our hospices to be able to make a lasting impact in the most difficult of times 🧡

We would like to say a huge thank you to Salisbury Poultry (Midlands) Ltd for their continued support. Over the festive period they managed to raise a staggering £10,500 for Acorns. 👏 👏 👏 This is a fantastic amount of money which will certainly make a difference to the children and families that use our services, and for that we are incredibly grateful. 🧡

"We have fun and forget we are sad sometimes." 🧡 How do we know how important our sibling groups are? Because they tell us! We had some beautiful feedback from children after a recent Three Counties sibling group that celebrated Children's Mental Health Week. Fun and games are a central part of these groups, giving siblings a chance to enjoy themselves and let go of their worries 😊

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to Ninder Johal DL and his team at Nachural for a wonderful evening at The Signature Awards held at The Vox last Friday. It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces in the room, to make new connections and of course to celebrate the winners and finalists! 👏 👏 👏 We are incredibly grateful to everyone that attended for your generosity and support during the evening. We can only continue to be there for local children and their families with your support, so thank you. 🧡
