We are a charity based in Worthing, West Sussex, that offers counselling to women and their partners who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant, who have experienced a pregnancy loss, such as miscarriage or stillbirth, or have experienced abortion.
We recognise that deep feelings can accompany these events, and we offer space and time to explore and process them.
Our services are free, confidential and non-judgemental. We see men as well as women, and offer counselling face to face, by phone, or via Zoom.
You are welcome to contact us to find out how we can help you.
Acorn is supporting Baby Loss Awareness Week 2025.
Baby Loss Awareness week was launched 22 years ago. It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring us together as a community and give anyone touched by pregnancy and baby loss a safe and supportive space to share their experiences and feel that they are not alone. One of Acorn’s clients commented “I feel so much lighter after the counselling and feel I am finally able to start letting go of the past.”
If you have experienced baby loss, contact us for help and emotional support.
For more information about the week, visit babyloss-awareness.org/
Acorn’s vision is “For the Worthing area to be a place where no one has to experience pregnancy loss or unintended pregnancy unsupported, and where all young people are able to learn the story of pregnancy."
" I can’t believe how much speaking to someone once a week changed my life
at such a hard time. Wonderful charity". (Client)
Worthing Community Chest help to fund our publicity material – thank you!
We are grateful for the support of the Sussex Community Foundation
As we are a non-medical agency we cannot refer directly for an abortion. Therefore, you can be sure of impartial support.
We will discuss all options with you and can signpost you to other organisations and agencies whatever decision you reach
