A bubbly summer spectacular being organised by Acorns Children’s Hospice will this year be sponsored by award-winning legal firm Talbots Law, the charity has announced.

Acorns Bubble Rush event will see hundreds of people bursting through walls of coloured foam in a fun course at Walsall Arboretum, and will raise vital funds for the charity’s lifeline care of local children and families.

Talbots Law, a full-service law firm with offices across the Midlands, will be theheadline sponsor for the family-friendly event on Sunday, 21 July.

Kate Vousden, Events Manager at Acorns, said:

“We are thrilled to announce that Talbots Law will be our major sponsor for Bubble Rush this year.

“The event is one of the region’s best loved family events and raises much-needed funds towards our care for children with life limiting or life threatening conditions and support for their families.

“A massive thanks to Talbots Law for their support. There are many children who need our care, and help can’t wait. Only with the amazing support of organisations like Talbots Law can we be there for them all.

“Don’t miss your chance to battle the bubbles and support local children and families.”

Talbots Law is one of the Midlands’ leading law firms, and has a long history of supporting local charities and community initiatives and their staff have chosen Acorns as their Charity of the Year for 2024.

Dave Hodgetts, CEO of Talbots Law, said:

“We are delighted to be sponsoring the Acorns Children’s Hospice Bubble Rush. This is a fantastic event, and our employees and their families will once again be joining in to raise much needed funds for Acorns.

“I have been very fortunate to see the amazing work that Acorns provide to children and their families, and I am extremely proud that we are able to support such a fantastic cause.”

Tickets are now available for the Bubble Rush, which is a foamy 5K fun-run and will see participants of all ages tackle masses of super suds as they make their way through a course of frothy ‘bubble stations’. 

Acorns Children’s Hospice provides specialist palliative care for babies, children and young people with life limiting and life threatening conditions, and support for their families.

In the past year, the charity has cared for more than 750 children across the West Midlands, and supported almost 1,000 families, including those who are bereaved.

This care and support is provided from Acorns three hospices, based in Birmingham, Walsall and Worcester, and in the community.

Acorns needs around £30,000 each day to provide its children’s hospice care, with two thirds of that amount coming from generous donations and fundraising by the local community.
