Every school that registers will receive a fantastic free fundraising kit, filled with all the resources needed to run a fun-filled Bring your Bear event, including ideas for extra activities and plenty of Paddington Bear stickers – a real favourite with the children. There are also activity sheets to download from the Bring your Bear website and use as part of a bear-related lesson plan for Key Stages One and Two.
Many schools organise a whole day of fun, such as reading Paddington stories and holding a teddy bears’ picnic where, of course, the children eat Paddington’s favourite – marmalade sandwiches!
Lizzy Chapman, ‘Bring your Bear’ event manager at Action Medical Research says: “Every child has a favourite bear and our Bring your Bear event is an exciting way for schools to make a real difference to other children. It’s very special but very easy to do and helps us fund research to reduce the suffering of babies, children and their families caused by disease and disability.”
