The shop owner asked the question \u201cis everyone knitting Teddies in Sevenoaks? \u201c Fortunately supplies are still available online!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>To date SI Sevenoaks has made 101 bears. Two members, Shirley Brigham has made 55, Linda Larter has made 6 and a friend of SI Sevenoaks, Maureen Clark has made 40. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The bears have been given to the West Kent Police Safeguarding Team who are already using them commenting how helpful they are as a de stressor for the children. Bears have been given to the Probation Service, Maidstone for use in Women\u2019s Refuges<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Word about the Trauma Bears originally went out through Police channels to the whole of Kent and clubs throughout the region responded \u00a0by supplying their local police teams.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0As SI Sevenoaks members have continued knitting bears who needed a home the Police were contacted again for possible outlets. DC Marie Cutter Shepway Child and Adult Protection Team [Folkestone police station] responded asking for 20 as the Teddies are needed there. Ann Holland, an associate member, living in Hastings donated her 10 bears to West Sussex Police safeguarding Team.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Excitingly I received an e mail from Mehdi Fallali who is the Detective Inspector for West Sussex Police Mash Hubs [Multi Agency Safeguarding Hubs] covering Hastings, Brighton and Eastbourne. She liaises with three Local Authority Children\u2019s Services Safeguarding Teams, Women\u2019s Refuges and Response Cars. She applauds this fantastic work in the community and has asked to have a meeting about the project. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>I would like to thank everyone in the region who has responded to this challenge wholeheartedly as we are making a difference in helping traumatised children by taking action and have raised awareness of our Programme Action work with other services and organisations. I end this article with two quotes:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>A police response after using the Teddies: \u201cthe children love them and their faces light up when they know they can keep them.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>A knitter\u2019s comments: \u201cI really enjoy knitting the teddies.
