Away Giving Collection. During the month of March we will be taking a collection for the work of Acorns Children’s Hospice. The hospice provides services for Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and South Warwickshire, caring for more than 200 children and their families every year, and providing short breaks for children at the Worcester hospice. Two-thirds of the funding needed to continue Acorns’ work comes from the generosity of the community, so your contributions to the hospice’s work this month will be greatly appreciated. Further information about Acorns’ work is available in the narthex.
