Acorns Hospice

Been listening to the 5 Live BreakFast Show from Acorns Children's Hospice in Worcester.

I wasn't able to listen to all of it (will try tonight) but the bit I did hear affected me profoundly.

Having said that listening to the fortitude of some of the kids was really brilliant! (I was particually impressed by a teenager called Alex who has muscular dystrophy who had a pretty good line in banter ....)

Most uplifting.

One thing though: why does the Government fund children's hospices less than the equivilant adult ones on a proportional basis? This surely isn't right.


Update

Discovered that Alex has a blog here .... and photos here:
