Over the past year, donations from the local community have provided 60% of the funding we need to run our vital care services. That’s an incredible £6 million that has contributed to delivering care and support to 704 children and 940 family members over the last year, even throughout the worst of the pandemic.
When a child you love has limited time it is important to make every day count. Your donation will help nurses like Ruth to deliver around the clock care and create special memories for local life limited and life threatened children and their families.
“The children we support all have conditions that impact massively on their lives, but whatever the need is, with your help we can be there for them. With your support we can ensure their time with us is full of caring people and happy memories.”
– Ruth, Nurse at Acorns Children’s Hospice


Whether you’re giving a one-off cash gift or making a regular donation, every generous contribution makes a meaningful difference to children like Jack.
Did you know that just £5 will help pay for a child like Jack to have a hydrotherapy session? Our fully accessible hydrotherapy pools open up a whole new world for the children in our care, allowing them to enjoy a splash around with their siblings whilst experiencing pain relief and a sense of relaxation.
To help us continue providing vital care and precious moments for local children and families, please consider giving a special gift and make a donation to Acorns.
