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.

Acorns Children’s Hospice needs us ✊ The government might not renew the Children’s Hospice Grant but they NEED it to care for children. I signed their petition and you should too. They’re our local children’s hospice – let’s not let them down

Our future depends on the Children’s Hospice Grand and it’s essential funding. Without it, we may face the heartbreaking possibility of turning away children in need for the first time in our 36-year history.
We urge the Government to safeguard this funding to ensure that Acorns and other children’s hospices can continue offering the high-quality care that so many children and families rely on.
