TLC Teddies for Loving Care

The Teddies for Loving Care Appeal provides teddy bears free of charge to Hospital Accident and Emergency units, for the medical staff to give to children who are in severe distress and where the staff feel that a teddy to cuddle would assist them in their work. The children keep the teddy and take it home.
