Fundraising ideas and support

Our fundraisers play a vital role in helping us make every day count for local life limited children and their families. There are lots of ways to get involved, from hosting a bake sale with friends, to challenging yourself by joining Team Acorns for one of our events, or supporting Acorns at a celebration.

Whether you choose to fundraise at work, at school or at home, alone or in a group, each penny you raise will make a real difference – and we’re here to help every step of the way!

It currently costs around £10 million a year to run our care services, and in the past year we have supporting 732 children and 945 families across the West Midlands, including those who are bereaved. With your help we can continue to provide care and support for life limited and life threatened children and their families.

Fundraising ideas

Anyone can do something special to raise funds for Acorns Children’s Hospice.

Whether you hold an open garden event, shave your head or grow a beard, get sponsored to kick a habit or get your friends together for a ramble in the countryside, there are loads of fun ways to make a difference to local children and their families.
