ur work is rightly centred around the child and we tailor
the package of care we provide based on their needs.
However, the ripple effect of what we do extends far beyond
the individual.
The impact of the care we provide to the child is evident in the
immediate family. What isn’t so obvious is the further impact
beyond the family unit. But it’s there.

Imagine throwing a stone into a pond and watching the ripples.
Now imagine the stone is the care Acorns provides to a child.
Over the next few pages, we’ll demonstrate how the effect
of the care we give ripples out beyond the family to the local
community, healthcare professionals and wider society.
Not only do we provide care for the child and support for the
family, we play a vital role in health and social care, bringing
about wider societal benefits.
