They were knitted in York and they travelled down to Ashtead where they were met by two Soroptimists, Veronica and Jenny.\u00a0 They were then delivered to organisations where children were often placed in traumatic situations. 30 teddies were delivered to an I Choose Freedom refuge in Surrey.\u00a0 These will be included in their Welcome Packs for new families arriving at the refuge who have been involved in domestic abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">24 teddies were delivered to Surrey Police via Maria Edwards, Force Advisor Child Vulnerability. Maria said that the teddies will be taken in police patrol cars and be given to children who have been involved in an incident that has led to police involvement. Some teddies will be available for children in the video suites for child abuse cases. More teddies are being knitted by Cheryl and Deborah who have kindly shared their knitting pattern so that some Soroptimists can begin to knit teddies as well. Each teddy has its own individual bag for storage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Photos- On the front of this post Maria Edwards is holding the teddies.
