That’s a wrap on our Acorns team childhood photos!

We’ve loved taking a trip down memory lane, but now it’s your turn…

Tomorrow we’re launching our very first Be a Kid Week, a fundraising week all about celebrating childhood and raising vital funds for our care.

We’ve got lots of fun planned, so get involved, get nostalgic and get those childhood photos ready… you’ll need them. 👀

The adventure starts here! ✈️

Good luck to these amazing trekkers, who are heading off to the Indian Himalayas today with friends from Helen & Douglas House, Children's Hospice South West, Naomi and Jack's and Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.

Over the next few days, they’ll be trekking around 14km each day, reaching heights of 2,842m and taking in some incredible mountain views along the way.

We’ll be cheering every one of you on as you go the extra mile (and many more!) to help us continue our vital care for children and families back home. 🧡

Last night, nearly 100 people came together to support Acorns, and what a night it was!

A huge thank you to Duncan Mathieson, our Vice President, for bringing everyone together and making the evening possible.

Gabriel ''Gabby'' Agbonlahor and Nigel Boyle provided brilliant entertainment throughout the evening, while Pete Hudson and the team at The Plough at Shenstone gave us a great setting and looked after everyone so well.

The evening raised £10,000 for Acorns! 🎉

This could help our specialist teams give children the care they need, while giving families the chance to step away from the demands of providing round-the-clock care and simply be mum and dad.

We’re so grateful to everyone who came along and donated. Your generosity makes a real difference to children and families across the West Midlands. 🧡

We celebrated Birmingham through food at our Selly Oak hospice!

Our brilliant hospice chefs cooked a delicious Balti, celebrating Birmingham’s famous Balti Triangle, and tasty chocolate cakes inspired by Cadbury World, just around the corner from our Birmingham hospice. 🍫

They are such an important part of what happens behind the scenes, making sure our families and teams are always looked after and well fed, as well as ensuring children's specialist dietary needs are met.

Thank you both for everything you do! 🧡

To round off Second Hand September, Isobel has been to our Bescot Superstore to show us how she created her and put together two outfits for under £30!

Some supporters really do go the distance. 🧡

Judith Burrows has supported children’s hospice care in Walsall since the 1980s, when she helped raise funds to build a hospice for local children and families.

That same hospice is now Acorns in the Black Country, and Judith has continued to support us ever since.

Her friend Janice Hancox has also supported Acorns over the years, and following the sad death of her husband Anthony earlier this year, chose to support us in his memory.

We’re incredibly grateful to Judith and Janice for their continued support, and it was lovely to welcome them to our Walsall hospice.

Every family deserves time to say goodbye in their own way.

After Sophia died, her family were given the chance to be with her. These are the moments Heather and David can hold onto.

We supported them with memory-making, keepsakes and funeral arrangements, giving them space to say goodbye in their own time and in their own way.

There are so many ways to get involved with Acorns. 🧡

From running a Traitors-themed sweepstake at work to challenging yourself by joining at an event, there’s something for everyone.

It costs £40,000 every day to run our vital care services, so every fundraiser really does make a difference.

Alright, our bab!

Today we’ve been celebrating International Day of Birmingham here at our Selly Oak hospice. 🎉

Our story started right here in Birmingham, when our first hospice opened in Selly Oak in 1988.

More than three decades later, we’re proud to be part of this brilliant city, caring for children and families across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.

We couldn’t do what we do without the amazing people and businesses who make Birmingham what it is.

Thanks to Brummies’ kindness and strong sense of community, we can continue to be here for the children and families who need us. 🧡
