Tendering For Care

HUNDREDS of life-limited youngsters across Bromsgrove and the rest of the Midlands will benefit from a massive £1million cash boost that is to be given to the Acorns Children's Hospice by the Government. The news, announced on Tuesday (October 31), will come as a great relief to the charity which had its three-year National Lottery funding taken away last year. The injection will now mean that Acorns' can re-open the 12 beds across the three hospices that it was forced to close due to a lack of funding. The hospices at Worcester, Selly Oak and Walsall will all get an extra four beds each - taking the total number across the Midlands to 30.
