Manchester Airport Chaplaincy Receives Handmade Teddies

The team at the Manchester Airport Chaplaincy were delighted to welcome a group from Forget Me Knit in Stretford, who generously donated a batch of handmade “Trauma Teddies” to give comfort to children arriving in the midst of humanitarian assistance cases. A huge thank you to Shirley, Anne, and John (off camera) for their kindness and encouraging words.

During their visit, the teddies were blessed in prayer – for those who lovingly made them and for the children who will receive them. These comforting companions are now ready to be shared where they’re most needed.
