Story

See our video at: https://vimeo.com/413971142 and please share!

On Saturday 2nd May 2020 residents of Whitehouse Way, Aldridge will be walking laps of our street, covering between us the marathon distance of 26 miles to raise vital funds for Acorns Children’s Hospice.

A lifeline for so many life-limited local children and their families, especially in these uncertain times, Acorns' funding has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. The work that Acorns does never stops regardless of this.  This is the time when Acorns needs as much help as possible, so they can continue providing families with vital support at their greatest time of need.

We're doing our bit to help our local Hospice and hope that you can support us in our challenge!


The difference your money makes

£26 raised could help support families who are self-isolating with essential items
£260 raised could pay for a family to stay two nights at Acorns when their child is at end of life
