“Todos no Hospice Infantil do ACORNS são profundamente gratos por este anúncio de apoio do governo central para o setor de caridade, e a contribuição significativa prometida especificamente para os hospícios do país, em reconhecimento dos serviços vitals que fornecemos. Fomos tranquilizados com esse grande anúncio e esperamos descobrir como esse apoio do governo será alocado. Exagerado. Atingimos toda a nossa experiência e mão de obra especializada para fazer tudo o que podemos ao lado de nossos colegas do NHS na luta, além de continuar lá para todas as crianças e famílias da nossa comunidade local que precisam de nós nesse momento preocupante. Permita que hospícios como bolotas continuem a fornecer nossos cuidados vitais durante essa emergência e, muito tempo depois que esse vírus foi derrotado. ”
“The pandemic has greatly reduced our income at Acorns both from fundraising and from our shops, as it has for all charities. We are reassured by this major announcement and look forward to finding out how this Government support will be allocated.
“Hospices such as Acorns have been facing an impossible situation, with our care needed more than ever because of the nature of this emergency, but seeing our charitable income dropping away so suddenly and so sharply. Warnings over the past month about the risk to services provided by charities and to the future of the charities themselves were not exaggerated.
“Like all the many fantastic organisations in the hospice sector nationally, Acorns is providing critical support in the response to this pandemic. We have drawn upon all our specialist expertise and manpower to do everything we can alongside our NHS colleagues in the fight, as well as continuing to be there for all the children and families in our local community who need us at this worrying time.
“This announcement from the Government should also inspire people to continue to support their local charities, if they are in a position to do so. We are all in this together, and your generosity along with this vital Government support will allow hospices like Acorns continue to provide our vital care during this emergency, and long after this virus has been defeated.”
