Dentist brings smile with £1,000 gift for Acorns

Bromsgrove dentist Hugh Revill brought a smile to Acorns when he chose to support the hospice with a £1,000 gift.

The money came from a competition organized for customers by Towergate MIA, insurance specialists for medical and caring professionals. As well as prizes including hospitality tickets to the Grand National or £1,000 worth of electrical goods, they matched the prize in value to give to a charity of the winner’s choice.

Winner Mr Revill, of College Road Dental Practice, nominated Acorns to benefit from the company’s matching £1,000 donation.

Carole Crowe, Fundraising Manager for Acorns in the Three Counties, said: “Acorns cares for 160 local children with life limiting or life threatening conditions in the Three Counties area. We are delighted to receive this great prize, and would like to thank Mr Revill for his kindness in nominating Acorns.

“There is no charge to families for using the services but it does cost £750 per day for each child’s care, so the donation is much appreciated.”
