Barnardos Teddy Bear Raffle
We all know the comfort a teddy bear can bring. That’s why we’re asking you to join workplaces, clubs, community groups and schools across the country in hosting a Teddy Bear Raffle. Every ticket you sell and every euro you raise will help provide vital support and smiles for vulnerable children this Christmas. Christmas is a time for joy, but for many familes, it can be a challenging time. You can help to change that. You can help to give vulnerable children the happy, warm and secure Christmas they deserve.
Because Childhood Lasts A Lifetime.
