We were looking for a bear to give to the Ambulance service as they like to have them on board when dealing with traumatised children and found this delightful little bear. His name is Spencer Bear.

Sadly, we knew Spencer Roberts who died in January, 2008 aged 3, so all our bears donated in his memory. His big sister, Amalia presented the the first 100 bears on our behalf. Marks & Spencers, Eastbourne heard our story and their Staff donated £150 with a further £100 voucher for the next batch of bears.

A very kind Grandma has given us another £100 after her granddaughter received one having been knocked down by a reversing van. We understand that Ted E Bear - named after the paramedic - was an incredible comfort to a small girl.

We have presented a further 100 bears to Newhaven ambulances, thanks to the Beaver Colony in Peacehaven. Another 100 bears went to Eastbourne ambulance crews after a generous donation from a couple in Hastings.

Marks & Spencers Chairman's Office donated a further 50 bears and we added another 50, which were received by the Brighton crew.

APRIL 2010  Thanks to the generosity of the Spencer Roberts Memorial Fund and Marks & Spencer's Chairman's office we have been able to purchase a further 200 Spencer bears for the ambulance service.

 Age Concern have knitted 95 Trauma Teds and these have gone to Hove and Lewes stations.
