A woman has organised the creation and delivery of thousands of knitted and crocheted bears to vulnerable communities across the country to “spread the teddy love”.
Jess Pearce, 64, who is based in Wallasey, Merseyside, made her first “trauma bear” about three years ago for the co-ordinator of a homelessness centre and, after seeing his positive reaction, decided to set up a Facebook group so others could join in.
