Foresters members (policy holders) in the
Bristol area took park in a very special Build-A-Bear Workshop
event on 28th October 2009.
Every member attending this event created two very
special teddy bears which were donated to the young patients at
Bristol Children's Hospital, part of UH Bristol NHS Foundation
Trust.
In total 50 bears were given to children who found
themselves in hospital over half term, and they had their day
brightened as their new furry friends were handed over to them at
the Hospital play centre.
Anna Shepherd at the Grand Appeal said "A big thank you to
Foresters for the donation of these bears - the children’s faces
really lit up when the teddies arrived - its been a real
treat!"
This Build-A-Bear event is
just one of the many exclusive events and activities organised for
Foresters members as part of Foresters work in the
Community.
