North Shields community group's knitted bears on their way to support Ukrainian children

Hundreds of crocheted bears have set off on their journey from the North East to support Ukrainian children at a refugee camp.

Hero Bears for Refugee Children, a community group from North Shields, have today sent 200 crocheted bears on a Cross Country train down to Bristol, where they will then be sent over to a refugee camp in Zahony, Hungary.

The Bristol to Hungary leg of the trip is being done by Bristol-based organisation Teddy Busz, who have already sent aid to Hungary four times with items such as food, clothing and toys for families who have been forced to flee their homes.
