“Aston Villa will continue to place Acorns in the top sponsor spot on our playing shirts, completely free of charge, for the next season. We will also look into the other ways that the club and its supporters can get behind the fragile lives appeal, to raise vital funds through events, lotteries and competitions and by encouraging our supporters to rally behind Acorns and give the charity the support it needs.”
"The current recession is putting extra strain on both the charity itself and the families that it helps, and Acorns is still trying to reach a thousand more life limited and life threatened children in our Region. At Aston Villa we feel very strongly about continuing our support of this local charity and giving them a platform for their message that they simply could not afford any other way”.
