Young patients at Acorn’s Children’s Hospice in Worcester will enjoy a chirpy chocolate Christmas treat, thanks to long term supporters Webbs.

The garden centre, which has stores in Wychbold and West Hagley, donated a giant chocolate robin for the youngsters to enjoy at a forthcoming Christmas party.

Webbs has donated thousands of pounds to Acorns over the years and recently held a choirathon at the Wychbold store to raise money for the children’s charity and four other local hospices.

Mandie Fitzgerald, fundraising officer at Acorns for the Three Counties, said: “This is a lovely and generous donation that further reinforces the fantastic relationship Acorns has with Webbs. We’re very grateful for their continued support.”

Webbs chairman Ed Webb said:  “We value our partnership with Acorns and wanted to give the children an extra treat this Christmas. Acorns works so hard to make it a special time for patients and their families.”
