Donate Pre-Loved Teddy Bears

As part of our Easter celebrations in school we are going to be thinking of new lifeand hope and how we can help others. Over recent weeks the children from the Community Crew have been working with members of the Teddy Trust to find outmore about the charity and how we can support it in school.  The Teddy Trust collects pre-loved teddy bears from the UK and sends them to other children in the world who are experiencing suffering, displacement, starvation or war. Countries which they currently send teddy bears to include: Mongolia, Ukraine,
Greece, Kurdistan, Iraq, South Africa and Syria. This Easter in school we are inviting children to donate any pre-loved teddy bears that they no longer need to the charity.

Due to the use of the teddies the charity has strict rules about what they can accept.

The teddies must:
• Be small enough for children to carry
• Be clean and in good condition
• Be silent (not contain noises, rattles or bells)
• Be cuddly, soft and comforting
• Have 2 arms and 2 legs
• Look happy

They cannot:
• Be extra large teddy bears
• Have mechanisms or batteries inside, and anything that
makes a noise
• Be branded goods or toys
• Be animals other than bears
• Be dolls, knitted toys, beanie animals, monsters, or keyring

We would be very grateful for any donations you can give.
