We’re sending out a Christmas SOS to Bears supporters to bring down teddy bears to donate to the Trust this matchday. On the day you’ll be able to find a collection point under the clock in the south stand concourse.

The Teddy Trust collects teddy bears from children around the UK and sends them to children who are suffering the traumas of war, starvation or abuse. The trust has sent over 140,000 teddy bears to children to date.

DONATE YOUR OLD SHIRTS TO KITMAS

As part of Bears Giving Back week, we’ve also partnered with Kitmas to provide good quality football kits to children in the UK who may not otherwise receive Christmas present this year.

More families than ever before will struggle to afford gifts this Christmas due to the cost of living crisis. Many Bears fans will have childhood memories of the joy and excitement of pulling on a new kit, and Kitmas aims to spread that happiness around the country.

The partnership with Kitmas is part of our continuing sustainability initiative, Project Whitebeam and our efforts to reduce all forms of waste by extending the lifecycle of every donated kit.
