Kidderminster Acorns Children’s Hospice shop is under threat of closure because it is projected to make a small loss in the coming year.

This has come as a shock to its loyal volunteers and customers. The shop is very important to the Kidderminster community and performs a valuable role in terms of recycling and providing much wanted items for people on a low budget.

We call for attempts to be made to negotiate a lower rent or a cheaper retail property to be found in order to keep the shop open.

Our family has a personal connection to Acorns Children’s Hospice as they have provided care and support to our disabled 9 year old daughter for the past 5 years. We know first hand how important Acorns is to families like ours and would be incredibly sorry to see our local hospice shop closed.
