Every Bear Hug Leaves Paw Prints That Last a Lifetime

A gentle place for families holding the unimaginable — and for anyone who wants to help carry it.

Welcome to Teddy's Sleeping Bears

If you've found yourself here because you're navigating the unimaginable loss of a child, I am truly sorry that you are facing the unbearable.

Please know that you are not alone. At Teddy's Sleeping Bears, we are here to walk beside you, to hold your hand through the storm, and to remind you that there is always someone who cares.

Created in loving memory of Teddy, our mission is to provide comfort, support and lasting memories for bereaved families while helping improve children's local bereavement services for the future.

Whether you're looking for support, understanding, or simply a safe place where your child's memory will always be honoured, you've found a community that understands.

What we do

Three ways we try to help

We walk beside you

Someone to talk to, and practical help in the days when nothing makes sense. No forms to fight through, no waiting list, no rush.

Support for families

We help make memories

Memory boxes, keepsakes and moments that families can hold on to — small, precious things that say your child was here and your child was loved.

Memory boxes

We work to change what comes next

Raising money and awareness so children's bereavement care in our community is kinder for the family who comes after you.

Our story

There's no right way to do this

Some people read everything. Some people close the tab. Some people come back at three in the morning, months later. All of it is fine. We'll still be here.
