The aims and objectives of the TLC Appeal
Teddies for Loving Care Appeal or TLC Appeal
(Registered Charity No 1087765)
The Appeal has a simple objective. To provide teddies or soft toys to A&E units:-
for the medical staff to give, at their discretion, to children who are in severe distress, where the staff feel that a teddy to cuddle will help alleviate that distress, that will assist them in their urgent work.
The children take the teddies home with them.
I have 2 twin boys age 3 (and 1 month) who are both under Consultants at North Hampshire hospital as one has a heart condition and the other breathing difficulties and both have been at the trauma unit several times and have been given one of these teddies each and have loved them and are their favourite teddies and carried everywhere by one.
Many thanks.
Just to say a very big thank you to your organisation. My 5 year old son fell and hit his forehead on a pillar yesterday morning and had a terribly deep gash that was bleeding everywhere.
I rushed him to the West Suffolk Hospital A&E Department where he was attended to
quickly
but also given a bear in his favourite colour, yellow. He really loved the
bear and hugged it throughout a difficult and upsetting morning.
He's put a bandage
on the bear's head and took it this morning to the nurse who checked his wound (which
is doing fine).
I know that your organisation requires a lot of dedication, hard work and fund raising,
but honestly, you're doing a wonderful job.
Thank you Via E-
I just wanted to say Thank You to you for the teddy bear my daughter received at the weekend. Izzy is 2 and had a fall at the weekend resulting in a broken leg, while having her leg put in plaster in a very busy A&E department on a Saturday night, one of the nurses gave her a TLC teddy, in her favourite colour Pink, the teddy has been named Polly after the lovely nurse who looked after us before going up to the childrens ward.
Polly stayed with Izzy all night, and has been a firm favourite by her side since we got home.
It's a great thing to do, and I really do thank you.
Oscar is 19 months old and was taken to A&E with breathing problems. Of course,
he was given one of your wonderful bears, and will not put it down! Thank you so
much he loves it and it helped him cope with his visit to hospital!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
My 2 year old daughter woke up struggling to breathe due to croup in the middle of
the night last week & had to have a long ambulance ride to the nearest hospital with
an A&E (Ashford, William Harvey Hospital. Over 30 min's away). The ambulance men
gave her one of your teddies which she played with while we waited to be seen. Thank
you very much for donating them -
Dear Sir / Madam,
Within a period of thirteen days in December 2008 my two year old son was twice rushed to the A&E Department at Airedale Hospital near Keighley. Both times we had to call 999 and were taken (in a very distressed state!) via an ambulance with sirens and flashing lights. On both occasions we arrived at the hospital with only the clothes we were wearing. On each visit my little boy stayed overnight on the children's ward and each time he was given one of your teddies. They were a lovely gift and he cuddled them lots whilst he was in the hospital and also back at home. The red and green teddies now sit on his bed at home and he still loves them.
Thank you -
Kind regards
