Acorns supports around 750 children and almost 1,000 families every year. The charity needs to raise £11 million each year to provide its lifeline care. Your support means Acorns can continue to be there for local families facing the unimaginable. Together, we are stronger.

Story

Last Sunday I completed the Virgin London Marathon in a time of 05:03:55 to raise money for Acorns Children's Hospice, a charity that cares for children and young people who have life limiting and life threatening conditions, meaning that they are unlikely to reach adulthood.

 

Although I secured my place through the ballot, I am aiming to raise a minimum of £2,250 which will cover the cost of one child's care for just five days, so I hope that you are all to dig deep and support this most deserving of charities.

 

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.  Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Acorns and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for Acorns.

 

Many thanks

 

Andrew
