More teddies given to children in need of support in Nottinghamshire

Another box of teddy bears has been gifted to children in need of support by a Nottinghamshire-based charity.

Teddies For Loving Care Nottinghamshire gave the bears to Me&dee.

Me&dee provides respite holidays to families that have someone ­— a parent or child ­— with with life-limiting or terminal illness.

The founders of the charity were also presented with a £5,000 cheque from the Nottinghamshire Freemasons provincial charity fund.

Bill Ashley, of Teddies for Loving Care, said: “The Nottinghamshire charity commission and everybody else involved think that Me&dee is an excellent charity to support.

“It’s bigger than just providing them with teddy bears. Nottinghamshire masons will go on to support Me&dee in the future.”

Around £2160 was raised through the lunch which will go towards helping families across the county.

“It was actually a very nice day and of course, very successful for Me&dee,” Bill said.

“It embodies the spirit of charity that runs through the masons.”
