A LONG-term supporter of Acorns Children's Hospices has donated a handmade Tudor-style dolls house to the Worcester centre.

The dolls house was made and presented to head nurse Angela Mercer at Acorns in Worcester by Matt Redmond, a councillor from Acocks Green, Birmingham.

Fran Winterbourn, Acorns fund-raising manager, said: "We were delighted to receive the dolls house at our Worcester hospice as it has brought something colourful and fun for the children to look at and play with. It is currently on display in the family care area for families and staff to enjoy."

Acorns has three children's hospices - in Selly Oak, Birmingham; Walsall and Bath Road, Worcester.
