Acorns Children's Hospice
Established in 1988, Acorns Children's Hospice Trust is a registered charity offering a network of care for life limited and life threatened children and young people, and their families, across the heart of England.  These children and young people are not expected to reach adulthood and require specialist care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Acorns is currently supporting nearly 600 children and 800 families, including those who are bereaved. Acorns has 3 hospices in Selly Oak, Walsall and Worcester.
