O’Brien Trust Donate £2,500 to the Brilliant Acorns Children’s Hospice Birmingham

O’Brien Trust presented a cheque for £2,500 to the brilliant Acorns Children’s Hospice, in Birmingham to go towards the brilliant service they provide for sick children.

A parent never imagines their child will be diagnosed with a life limiting or life-threatening condition. But when the unimaginable happens, Acorns steps in, helping families cope at every stage of their child’s life and beyond, wherever and whenever they need it.

Acorns Children’s Hospice dedicated teams provide specialist palliative care for life limited and life threatened babies, children and young people and support for their families.  Providing a home from home environment where children can take part in a range of fun and therapeutic activities, from arts and crafts sessions to hydrotherapy.

Children visit Acorns for respite, short breaks, end of life and emergency care, whilst providing families with a much-needed break from caring round the clock.  This support is offered from three hospices based in Worcester, Birmingham and Walsall, as well as in the family home and community.
