Petition Details

Provide further funding for children’s hospices and prevent future closures.

Additional Information

In the West Midlands, Walsall Acorns has provided crucial support for thousands of children & their families with lifelong & terminal illnesses for over 20 years. It is currently under threat of closure due to a major shortfall in funding.

Help prevent the erosion of the critical care system for our children & their families requesting Parliament:
(a) Increase baseline funding for children's hospices so that charities are able to raise the balance necessary for hospices' long-term sustainability (b) a safety net fund for hospices in financial difficulty to give time to raise funds to prevent closures.
The closure of Acorns would result in 100s of families each year losing critical specialist care & put extra pressure on the NHS.
