In a touching act of kindness, Cambridgeshire Freemasons have generously donated a year’s supply of teddy bears to Cambridge Women’s Aid. This heartfelt initiative aims to bring comfort and joy to children and families seeking refuge during challenging times.
Each child staying at the refuge will now receive a cuddly companion, thanks to TLC Cambridgeshire. The donation recognises the vital role the refuge plays in supporting women and children escaping domestic violence and positively impacting their wellbeing.
Tony Barrios, the coordinator of the Teddy scheme within the Province, expressed their enthusiasm for the initiative: “We are delighted to support Cambridge Women’s Aid with this donation. Our goal is to bring a little joy and comfort to the children who find themselves in challenging circumstances. We hope the teddy bears will provide a sense of security and warmth during their stay at the refuge.”
Cambridge Women’s Aid shared their heartfelt thanks for the donation, highlighting the significant impact it will have on the families they assist. A spokesperson for the organisation said, “We are incredibly thankful to the Cambridgeshire Masons for their thoughtful donation. These teddy bears will undoubtedly bring smiles to the faces of our young residents and provide them with much-needed comfort during a difficult period in their lives.”
