What We DoThe Teddy Charity was formed in 1998 when the founders realised there was no government funding or mechanism for medical equipment for children suffering from life-threatening illnesses being nursed at home. Without such equipment children in hospital cannot return to their families, freeing a hospital bed for another young patient (the operating cost of a single NHS bed has recently been estimated at more than £20,000 a year). Equally, young out-patients have to continue to make frequent and disruptive trips to hospital for regular treatment. |
