Solicitors from across the West Midlands are taking part in a charity campaign to help support local children and their families in the area.

Ben Gilchrist, Legacy and In Memory Manager at Acorns, said: “We are extremely grateful to these firms for supporting Acorns Make a Will Month. The month highlights the importance of making a Will, allowing you to plan for your future and ensure your loved ones are taken care of.
“It’s something everyone should do but is something that is very easy to put off. Acorns Make a Will Month is an excellent opportunity to start that process and help us continue our vital work caring for children and families.”
Acorns Children’s Hospice offers a network of specialist palliative for babies, children and young people with life limiting and life threatening conditions, as well as support for their families.
It costs the charity £27,000 per day to provide its care and services and it relies heavily on the generosity of local businesses and the community for the majority of this amount.
