Barnardo’s wants your pre-loved teddies

Floella Benjamin - the 1980’s children’s TV favourite - is asking children across the UK to get ready with the teddies and help to change other children’s lives.
Floella is supporting Barnardo’s new Spring campaign by asking children and parents to dig deep into their toy boxes and donate their pre-loved teddies they no longer play with. The bears will be sold at Barnardo’s 390 shops across the country in a bid to raise cash for the thousands of vulnerable children and young people the charity supports.
As well as pre-loved teddies, the charity can also breathe a new lease of life into unwanted presents that children have received and have been consigned to the back of the cupboard or bottom of the toy box.
By donating quality unwanted toys for Barnardo’s to sell, everyone can help the charity carry on its vital work across the UK at the same time as giving other children the chance to buy that special toy.
Barnardo’s shops also need donations of quality men’s and women’s clothing, books, CDs and DVDs, bric-a-brac and furniture. For details of your local store, please go to www.barnardos.org.uk
