A project launched by grandmother Ann Wright from North Shields to knit bears to comfort Ukraine refugee kids has inspired people around the world to contribute.
We reported last month how Ann, 66, had started the heart-warming scheme with daughter Charlotte Crumbley to help children who have been forced to flee their home country because of the war with Russia.
Charlotte has revealed that 30 of them are now on their way to Hungary where they will be distributed to kids arriving at Záhony station as they flee the conflict. And she revealed that they had been contacted by people across the UK and as far afield as the USA for help to set up their own group.
