A request on the Facebook page of Dorset & Wiltshire Fire And Rescue:
Calling all Knitters!
We are looking for people to knit or crochet teddies for crews to be able to give to children involved in incidents to help with comfort and reassurance.
Our firefighters carry teddy bears on our fire appliances and each bear has accompanying information for parents/carers that signposts to support for the child/children following the incident, if needed.
If you would like to make some teddies for us, please visit our website for more details including the knitting pattern and how to get in touch.
