Mayflex is proud to support and help raise money for a very worthwhile cause, the Acorns Childrens Hospice.
Acorns Childrens Hospice offers a network of care to life-limited children, children who will not reach adulthood. Acorns also cares for the whole family with support services tailored for every stage. Acorns has three specialist childrens hospices to serve the West Midlands region, each a 10-bed unit. They are:
- Acorns Birmingham (located in Selly Oak)
- Acorns in the Black Country (located in Walsall)
- Acorns in the Three Counties (located in Worcester)
Children use the hospices for nursing care, and can stay for short breaks, emergency and end-of-life care in the hospices comfortable home-from-home environments. Acorns has a Community Team who offer support to the whole family 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week, including practical and emotional support for parents, special help for siblings and bereavement support for as long as it is needed.
Acorns currently cares for over 600 life-limited children and their families. It estimates that a further 1,000 children with life-limiting conditions live in the West Midlands region who could be benefiting from Acorns services. Acorns has to find £6 million per year to fund its current service, and relies on fundraising for over 80% of its income. There is no charge to families whatsoever for the life-line services they receive at Acorns, but it costs £450 per day for a childs care. Life-limited children have a lot of living to do, Acorns aims to make every day extra special for the children and families it serves.
Mayflex has been working to raise money for Acorns for the last
few years and with the help of our staff, customers and suppliers
weve donated thousands of pounds through customer survey
incentives, charity raffles, Christmas card donations and
more.
Through 2008 and beyond Mayflex will continue to raise money for the Acorns Childrens Hospice and hopefully help as many children and their families as we possibly can.
