Every child in a Birmingham B&B is to receive a teddy bear this Christmas, part of the ‘Grant a Christmas #BrumWish’ appeal.
The Province of Worcestershire and neighbours Warwickshire, quickly joined forces after learning of the appeal and decided to donate 1,000 ‘Teddies for Loving Care’ bears, a perfect addition to the #BrumWish Christmas stockings.
BirminghamLive launched the campaign to buy gifts for more than 1,000 children who will sadly be homeless on Christmas Day, including those in Women's Aid refuges.
TLC bears are usually given to children in our local hospitals, providing comfort and reassurance for them during what is often a frightening experience.
This Christmas, TLC bears have a different role to play - to put a smile on the faces of homeless children going through a very difficult time.
