2023 The Great Bear Hunt

Teddy 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.
