Support our Yuri Bear Project

Essie Summers Retirement Village

Knitting needles are clicking across our villages and the wider community for the Yuri Bear projectšŸ»ā¤ļø.

Weā€™re aiming to knit 20,000 teddy bears for children displaced as a result of turmoil in their country.

Weā€™ve been overwhelmed by the response so far, but 20,000 bears is no small ask!

If you can knit, know someone who can or would like to find out how you can help, please click on the link below.
