At Acorns, we believe in community and the importance of recognising the diverse traditions that bring us all together.
For all seasonal celebrations, we focus on observing these moments with compassion and care, especially for the children and families who rely on our support. Join us in bringing light, hope, and comfort to those who need it most during these special times by either making a donation, fundraising, or simply learning more about our amazing families.
Ramadan is a time of reflection, generosity, and unity. Share the blessings and joy of this holy month by offering care and compassion to those who need it most. By supporting Acorns Children’s Hospice this Ramadan, your charitable giving can provide vital comfort, hope, and love to seriously ill children and their families.
Around 39% of the children and families at Acorns come from Black, Asian, and other minority ethnic backgrounds, including many who observe Ramadan. Over the past year, Acorns has experienced a record demand for our lifeline services.
There are many ways to donate to Acorns this Ramadan, with online donation available on our website. Your help embody the values of charity and community, ensuring that children and families facing unimaginable challenges are never alone.
“Yusuf loves it at Acorns and seeing him smile and do things he couldn’t at home just makes me so happy. It may sound small but doing things together and filling his day with fun means the world to me,” says mum Iram.
Yusuf is one of 6,000 children born in the UK every year with a syndrome without a name – a condition so rare it remains undiagnosed. Coming into the care of Acorns in 2020, Iram and Yusuf can enjoy time together, making precious memories and having fun in a safe and secure place.
Every family deserves the chance to create unforgettable memories with their child, no matter how short their time together. At Acorns Children’s Hospice, we provide the vital care and support that allows families to make the most of each precious moment.
At Christmastime, give families the gift of care and support by making a donation to Acorns. By giving the gift of care, families who need us can make every moment they have together count. Your support allows children and families to create special moments and treasured keepsakes they will hold onto forever.
A gift of £10 could fund art supplies for a session of specialist craft play, allowing a family to create treasured keepsakes with their child. Your support at Christmastime could help them make lasting memories they will hold onto forever.
Many of the children and families we support come from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, including those who celebrate Diwali. Your generosity during this festival will enable us to continue offering the specialist care and support that these families deserve, helping them create precious memories during challenging times.
