Teddy bears with hospital tubes being made for poorly Leeds kids

A Leeds custom teddy bear company is raising money to pay for custom bears to go out to the children who cannot afford one.

Nick Hardman, who runs the store, makes the custom teddies featuring shunt valves, insulin pumps and pacemakers. This means that kids going through incredibly tough times can have a toy that looks just like them.

Each teddy is custom made and costs £20 through Etsy, but not every parent can afford the price and so they can also apply to the sponsor a teddy scheme. A GoFundMe has now been set up to allow people to donate to the scheme.
