February 2023, At the end of February Worthing Lions received a request:
'Our Granddaughter was given a Lions teddy bear at Worthing hospital, by a nurse in the Children's Centre after she had had a blood test, when she was 6 months old. This teddy (see attached photo) has always been her favourite soft toy. Charlotte is 4 now and we have lost the teddy. She is distraught and we cannot find it despite looking everywhere.
Do you still have these teddys? If so, I would be grateful if you could let us have one. I will donate £25 to the Lions.'
So began the great Teddy Bear hunt. Worthing Lions members tried to find a bear
- Was it from Brighton Lions?
- Was it handed out by paramedics or hospitals?
- Was it from the freemasons?
- I might have one in my loft.
- Can we buy one?
eventually one was located.
After extensive enquiries two Lions Tony and Joy drove to Partridge Green to collect a teddy which they had located.
This was the given to the young girl making a very happy 4 year old and the Club £25 better off.
