Lawyers support children's hospice

Birmingham-based Kang & Co Solicitors have raised £1,500 for Acorns Children's Hospice after a year-long fund raising campaign.

In January this year, the law firm chose the hospice as their 2019 charity partner with a goal to raise funds and awareness for the children’s hospices based in the Midlands which provides essential specialist palliative care services to babies, children, young people and their families across the region.

Amy Deakin, partnership fundraising manager for new business and projects at the hospice, said: “We’re extremely grateful for supporters like Kang & Co Solicitors as they help fund our ongoing work providing vital care to children with life limiting and life-threatening conditions.

"By setting up a Just Giving page linked to Acorns Children’s Hospice, they were able to share this with their clients, suppliers and contacts when encouraging them to support the great cause, and as a result, have achieved the marvellous grand total of £1,500 this year. What a great way to give back to your local children’s hospice at Christmas - thank you to all those individuals and businesses involved, and especially Kang & Co for enabling this support.”

Acorns provides babies, children and young people aged 0 – 18 years who have life limiting or life-threatening conditions and associated complex needs with a network of specialist palliative nursing care and support.

Acorns serves the areas of Birmingham, Coventry and Warwickshire, Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley, Wolverhampton, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Staffordshire and Shropshire.

Manjinder Kang, director of Kang & Co Solicitors, said: “It’s been a pleasure supporting Acorns throughout 2019. The support and assistance provided to children and their families is crucial, and I am glad that we were able to help by raising donations via our JustGiving page."
