Raising cash to buy toys for sick children
8:20am Wednesday 27th July 2005 in
CHILDREN and families enjoyed fun and games at a teddy bears' picnic fundraiser.
The event was held in the grounds of Oakley House, part of the Bromley Masonic Hall.
It raised cash for Teddies with Loving Care (TLC), a scheme run by the West Kent Freemasons which supplies teddy bears to children in hospital A&E departments.
It delivers 7,000 furry friends to seven hospitals in the area each year.
TLC chairman Dave Butcher said: "This is a worthwhile cause. No-one likes being in hospital and it's even worse for children."
The event raised more than £500, to be split between TLC and the Freemasons' charity fund.
