The Children’s Hospice Grant is vital for Acorns, but it’s future is under threat.

Acorns is facing the unimaginable prospect of turning away a child in need, for the first time in our history. Without the Grant, we’ll be unable to deliver the essential care hundreds of local children need and many families would be left with nowhere else to turn.

That’s why we’re urgently calling on the Government to protect and maintain this crucial funding so we can keep providing the care local families can’t live without. They need us, and we need you.

Take these three easy steps to help support our campaign: sign the petition, write to your MP, and spread the word.
