Bubble Rush Event (Walsall Arboretum)

Volunteer with us!

At Acorns we provide care and support for life limited or life threatened children and their families. We are a charity, so most of the care that we provide is funded through fundraising and through our shops.

We are looking for volunteers to join our annual Bubble Rush event in Walsall Arboretum.

Event date Sunday 20th July 2025.

Bubble Rush is Acorns’ annual summer event. Participants take on a 5km course, and pass through four colourful foamy bubble stations on the route. Wheelchair and pushchair accessible with no age limit so great fun for the whole family!

Volunteer opportunities on the day;

Organisation

Acorns Children’s Hospice Trust

Acorns Children's Hospice aim to make every day a special day for children who spend time with us at a hospice.

Caring for a child with complex medical needs can place unimaginable demands on a family, both physically and emotionally. At Acorns Children’s Hospice, we understand that when time is short every moment is precious, which is why, as well as providing specialist palliative care, we help families to make lasting memories. 

We provide a happy homely environment where children can experience all kinds of great activities, meet new friends, or relax and enjoy some quiet time. Our experienced, skilled staff take time to understand each child’s individual requirements, listening to any concerns and adapting activities according to their needs.
