TEDDY bears to help make a child's ambulance trip to hospital easier have been presented to a local ambulance station by one of east Cleveland's WI branches.
Brotton WI celebrates its 75th anniversary this year and presented 25 of the cuddly bears to Redcar Ambulance Station.
The idea is that the bears will be put in the back of the ambulance and will be used by paramedics and technicians to calm the fears of some of their younger passengers as they make the trip to hospital.
As a special gift, the youngsters will get to keep the bear as a memento of their ambulance trip .
The WI promises to keep the ambulance station well stocked.
