Walsall donate food and drink to Acorns Children's Hospice

The charity, who have a hospice in the town, collected a variety of drinks, crisps and other snacks from the Banks's Stadium to be distributed to families in need in the area.

Acorns are the club's charity partner, who the Saddlers pledged to raise £10,000 for the charity this season.

Noel Cramer, director of supporter engagement at Acorns, said: “Acorns has a close relationship with Walsall FC fans, officials and players through their support for our Black Country hospice.

"This latest donation from the club will be given to the families we support who are shielding their children at home, making a simple task like going to the shops too difficult.

“We have been inundated with gifts from individuals, groups, local businesses, schools, faith groups, sports clubs and more – which speaks volumes about how the community has come together to stand with us in the fight against Covid-19.”

Meanwhile, the communications team at Walsall have raised more than £2,500 in their 260km running challenge throughout May.

The money raised will be shared equally between Acorns and the Community Hub project at the Banks’s Stadium.
