The PTA would like to arrange for as many teddies to be made for this great cause and are appealing for people to help with knitting these items. If you’d be able to assist please phone Anne on 07866 009078 - thanks to an extremely generous donation from a parent’s work, we’re able to provide you with wool, stuffing and patterns.
