No parent should ever have to say goodbye to their child. But across our region, families are having to face this reality every day. For those with seriously ill children, creating magical moments together becomes the most important thing in the world.
With your support, the Magical Memories Appeal will help families make the most of every precious moment – at every stage of a child’s life and beyond.
No parent expects that their child will be diagnosed with a life limiting or life threatening illness. But when the unimaginable happens, Acorns is here to help families make the most of their final days together.
Our hospices offer warmth, homeliness and a place to make treasured memories together. Through the Magical Memories Appeal, you can ensure more families receive this vital care when they need it most.
More families than ever are choosing Acorns care and support in their child’s final days.
You can help us be there for every family facing this unimaginable journey until the very end – and beyond.

Grayson came to Acorns after he was given a short time to live. For five weeks, mum and dad created Magical Memories with Grayson which will last a lifetime.
“During our darkest times, Acorns was a home from home, offering warmth, love and comfort. Thanks to Acorns, we managed to make every moment with Grayson matter. Even now, visiting the hospice feels like I’m coming home. It’s unthinkable that we might have faced this journey alone.” – Becky, Grayson’s mum
Please donate to our Magical Memories Appeal today and make a big difference to local families just like Grayson’s. Together we can ensure that Acorns will always be here for them, no matter what.
We can only give families the power of choice when their child dies with your support. The power of choice allows them to say goodbye where they feel most comfortable.
One of the ways we can do this is with our special bedrooms. At the heart of our hospices, in these temperature-controlled rooms, a child can stay for around two weeks after death. It gives families a sanctuary – and the chance to hold their child that little while longer.
Please consider donating to our Magical Memories Appeal today. Even the smallest amount can make the biggest of differences.
