Young carers build a bear

Our young carers from Haxby Road Primary Academy were recently treated to a trip to ‘Build a Bear.’

Bobby, the new Young Carers’ Club mascot, is a very special bear. Not only was he lovingly made by twelve of our young carers, who worked together as a team to make their perfect bear, he also has twelve hearts! Yes, twelve! Each child added their own extra bit of love to Bobby the Bear by kissing a heart before placing it carefully inside Bobby.

Bobby now attends the Young Carers’ Club each week and sometimes gets to spend time individually with the children when they need a bit of extra comfort or a cuddle.

You might spot Bobby around school with Mrs Suter – she even has a special backpack for him!
