Eric Baker, Area Charity Steward of City West delivered the second half of his consignment, delivering a further 2 boxes of TLC teddy bears to Salford Royal, Panda Unit last week.
The Teddies for Loving Care initiative provides unique cuddly bears to Accident & Emergency departments for medical staff to give at their discretion to young children. The bears are used to calm children down, reward them for being brave or to demonstrate procedures. Often the bears distract children so nurses and doctors can get their jobs done quickly and efficiently. The TLC teddy has become an invaluable tool for medical professionals and a real comfort for children.
Total funding for North Manchester Teddies and Salford Royal Teddies from the ELMC of £649.73.
