Colleagues conquer 17 summits to raise over £1,200 for Acorns

A charity walk has raised more than £1,200 for Acorns Children’s Hospice.

Colleagues from property consultancy Fisher German’s Worcester, Hereford and Birmingham offices completed a 9.3-mile trek across the Malvern Hills, conquering 17 summits for the charity, which provides care for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.

The hospice cares for more than 800 children and 1,100 families each year, offering services including clinically supported stays, pain and symptom management, and end-of-life care.

Rhiannon Barton, marketing manager at Fisher German and organiser of the walk, said: “It was lovely to spend time with colleagues away from our desks and do something positive for a charity we supported as part of our leg of the Big 25 challenge in 2025.

“It’s important to us to keep that relationship going and continue supporting the incredible work Acorns Children’s Hospice does in the local area.”

The walk began at Chase End and ended at North Hill, including a stop at British Camp for lunch.

Most team members completed the full route, while a few joined for sections.

The team’s efforts continue Fisher German’s support for Acorns, following their ‘Big 25’ charity challenge last year, which involved travelling between all 25 offices using only non-motorised transport and raised more than £55,000 for various charities.

Sian Timmins, corporate partnerships manager at Acorns Children’s Hospice, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to everyone at Fisher German LLP for taking on yet another challenge for Acorns and helping power the specialist care that enables children with life-limiting conditions and their families make every moment count.

“We can’t add more time to a child’s life, but every mile walked and every pound raised through this Malvern Hills walk, will help us add more childhood to the time they have.

From everyone at Acorns, a huge thank you.”
