What a day at the Wythall and Hollywood Fun Run!

A huge well done to everyone who took part, especially our fantastic runners 👏

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers for bringing the energy and encouragement along the route.

We're proud to have been the charity partner once again, and a big thank you to the team behind the event for organising another brilliant community day and supporting the work of Acorns.

What started as a search for hydrotherapy for her son led Louisa to a place that gave her the most precious gift - the chance to just be his mum.

Jack has complex medical needs and requires round-the-clock care. His days are filled with medications, feeds, physiotherapy and specialist equipment.

"At Acorns, somebody else takes that responsibility, so I can simply enjoy him smiling and having a good time. It's lifted a weight I didn't even know we were carrying."

Listening to families helps us understand what matters most - expert clinical care that creates space for parents to spend less time being carers and more time being mum and dad.

While the rest of us were still asleep, our incredible trekkers were already making their way up Pen y Fan at 2am this weekend.

By sunrise, the Acorns flag was flying proudly from the highest peak in South Wales. 🧡

A huge well done to everyone who took on this challenge, and thank you to Dan at Elite Adventures for guiding the team safely to the summit.

When baby Harrison was referred to Acorns, his mum Georgia wasn't ready for a hospice. After being told to prepare for the worst, she associated hospice care with one thing.

But we met Georgia where she was, supporting Harrison in hospital and his family at their own pace.

Georgia said: "I instantly thought if my child goes to a hospice, that means he's going to die. But when I visited Acorns, it was the furthest thing away from what I ever imagined it would be."

Today, Harrison receives ongoing support from Acorns, including clinically supported stays and community nursing.

Riding together for a cause. 🏍️

The Outlaws’ annual visit to our Birmingham hospice brought our biking friends back once again, helping raise vital funds and showing their continued support.

What a treat to be joined by The Prodigy’s guitarist Rob Holliday this year, who brought along a signed guitar from his Glastonbury show with The Prodigy! 🎸

It's Children's Hospice Week and we're shining a light on the children and families at the heart of Acorns. Their experiences help us understand what matters most and shape the care we provide.

Throughout the week, we'll be sharing some of their stories in their own words.

Meet Sam. Her son Alex has Smith Lemli Opitz Syndrome, a rare genetic condition. When Alex was referred to Acorns, his 24-hour care was overwhelming.

Sam said: "I was exhausted. It was the first time I felt like someone understood how difficult it was to have a child with complex needs. I genuinely don’t know what I’d have done without Acorns."

Support at the right time can make all the difference to families like Sam’s. It’s vital that families know our services exist, which is why we work with the NHS and other healthcare professionals to ensure they know Acorns is here for them.

Hydrotherapy helps reduce pain and discomfort, while giving children a rare sense of movement and freedom they may not otherwise experience.

You can help make this possible! By taking on our Big Summer Swim Challenge, you'll help fund these vital services, giving more children the chance to experience the freedom that water can bring.

Our appreciation for our volunteers is ongoing, every single day of the year.

We couldn’t do what we do without the support of our volunteers, who last year generously donated over 337,000 hours of their time.

Join us in saying a HUGE thank you to all our amazing volunteers. 🙌
