Acorns are Villa's new charity partner.

From birth to adolescents, Acorns cares for children who have a range of life-limiting conditions and who are not expected to reach adulthood.

Acorns recognises the importance of ensuring that specialist care is available to these children 24-hours a day, and also to their families who would face a much tougher time coping without it.

Duncan Riddle, Head of Community at Villa, said: "We're extremely pleased to be supporting Acorns, the UK's largest provider of specialist care to life-limited children and their families, in what will be an ongoing partnership."

David Strudley, Acorns Chief Executive, added: "Acorns is overjoyed at Villa's new long-term partnership. We are extremely grateful for their support. Their team supporting our team is a wonderful message."
