the difference
we make
but what if…
“It’s heartbreaking that
others aren’t able to access
these services.”
W
e know there are children and
families missing out on our care
and support.
Our vision is to reach 1,000 children by
2020. But that’s just half of the potential
total number of children living in our
region that need our help. And demand is
increasing.
Throughout this Impact Report we’ve
demonstrated the ripple effect of our
work and the difference we make with
the funds we are given. The impact of that
contribution cannot be underestimated.
When I walk around any of our three
hospices, visit our shops, speak to health
and social care professionals or meet
people in the community, it is clear we’re
making a difference.
There is no doubt that the impact of our
work is evident on many levels, from
the child right up to the wider society in
which we operate.
So, as I reflect on my ten years as chief
executive, I am proud of the significant
number of children we’ve cared for and
of families we’ve supported through the
unimaginable.
We know there will always be a need
for Acorns, but we need to do more.
That’s where you come in… We’ve asked
ourselves if we’re making a difference.
Now you need to ask – what
difference can I make?

Chief Executive Officer
