A group of West Midlands MPs have written a joint letter to the Government on behalf of Acorns, calling on vital funding for children’s hospices to be secured.

The five MPs – Nigel Huddleston, Dr Neil Shastri-Hurst, Andrew Mitchell, Mark Garnier and Saqib Bhatti – wrote to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, urging the Government to protect the NHS Children’s Hospice Grant.

The Grant, worth £25 million to the sector every year and 13% of Acorns’ annual income, is essential to help provide the services that children and families across the country rely-on.
