Charities
Graiseley – Acorns Children’s Hospice
Acorns provides care for babies, children and young people, who have life limiting or life-threatening conditions. They offer a network of specialist palliative nursing care and support for local families. The package of care is tailored for each individual child to meet their medical, emotional, cultural, religious and spiritual needs. Their hospices also provide a happy homely environment where children can take part in a variety of fun and therapeutic activities, from arts and crafts sessions to hydrotherapy. There are also chances for them to meet new friends and relax.
Graiseley House has chosen to support this charity as it ties in with our House ethos of being part of a community who support each other through a breadth of situations, as well as developing resilience in young people. These values link strongly with the work that Acorns Children’s Hospice provides to those who they work with. We look forward to working closely with the charity by raising awareness and funds through charitable events.
