The Acorn Centre

The Acorn Centre is a fantastic charity based in Nuneaton. Running since 1995, the centre provides a pregnancy specific counselling to anyone and everyone from the surrounding areas and further. With a vast range of counsellors and volunteers who give their time for free, counselling is available from all manner of areas around pregnancy, from coping with unexpected pregnancies to bereavement to postnatal depression and more. The team tirelessly work towards providing a unique service to which women and families come from all over the country. To keep up with ever changing demand, the charity has recently expanded it's services to provide support to young people struggling with any problems with which they need help. All of the services are provided with negligible costs to the clients and the charity is an invaluable asset to the wider community.

Over the last few months, it has been an honour to work with the incredible people at The Acorn Centre. As Coventry University Midwifery Society's chosen charity of the year, we have been fundraising for them throughout the year to help support their wonderful work. As well as this, we are planning study sessions with them to develop our students' communication skills with women and families around such sensitive issues. Our first Society event, 'The Big Meet' which was a bake and book sale for all of our student cohorts to meet each other at the start of the year, raised and incredible £128 for the charity and we expect our future plans to be even more fruitful!

The Society Committee all ready for the Big Meet!

 Meeting staff from The Acorn Centre to plot and scheme future events!
