Teddies for Tragedies
Doctors in Third World countries have found that children who have their own teddies to cuddle get better more quickly than those who do not. Each child takes their teddy home, so there is a need for a continual supply.
lots of knitted teddies ready to go to new homes
Here is a link to Teddies for Tragedies website so you can read all about it-

Below you will find full knitting instructions for making a “Teddies for Tragedies” teddy. It is important to follow these instructions as the organisers want all the teddies donated to have a similar appearance.
Please use bright colours, but NOT white, as white is a sign of mourning in many countries.
GOOD NEWS! We have a new address to which you may send your completed teddies!

I would very much like to get involved with this charity but cannot find any information about organisations in the north east. Would you be able to provide any details for me to contact please before I get started?
Thank you for contacting Merseyside Embroiderers’ Guild. I have replied to you by email and hope our reply will be helpful.
I too have been making teddies and although only one is nearly finished I still have wool and stuffing so please could you email me an address in the UK I can send them to so I can use it up? Thank you – Myra
Thanks for your interest Myra. We will be in touch soon
I have about 20 teddies ready for posting, but my usual contact is no longer collecting them. Would you be able to suggest a new contact, e.g. yourselves? I live in South Manchester but am willing to post the teddies anywhere in the UK if necessary. It seems such a shame to have them here when they could be comforting a child somewhere!
I did try the Teddies for Tragedies website as many people suggested on Google, but they closed the site down a couple of years ago due to a possible virus and don’t seem to have re-established it yet.
Your help and advice would be most appreciated. Many thanks!
Best wishes,
Freda Eyden
