The Great Teddy Bear Project
21 FAMOUS NAMES - 21 PAIRS OF JEANS - 21 AMAZING TEDDY BEARS
The Great Teddy Bear Project (GTBP) features 21 uniquely crafted teddy bears, each made from a pair of jeans donated by famous names from the worlds of music, TV and OUTER SPACE!
Handmade by Canterbury Bears at their workshop in the Kentish countryside, each bear is embroidered with the signature of the celebrity whose jeans they are made from.
The project is organised in support of Together for Short Lives, the UK’s leading charity for the 99,000 children with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition and their families.
“We are so grateful to everyone involved in this special project. Every bear sold will help to make a lifetime of difference for families facing up to the heartbreak of their child dying young.” Andy Fletcher, CEO Together for Short Lives.
