Lincolnshire Police are asking residents in the county if they are able to make knitted bears to donate some to them for consoling children.
In the past, if a child is involved in a road traffic collision, they would be given a free knitted bear to help keep them calm in a frightening experience. This then helps police and other emergency services deal with the accident.
However, the charity which used to knit and provide the bears — known as Angel Bears — is no longer in existence. This means Lincolnshire Police is running out of bears to give to children for free.
Police HQ is asking any knitting clubs or individuals in the county that would be willing to become part of their volunteer base to knit an annual supply of 500 bears to get in touch.
The force need enough for the next intake, required around September 2014. Bears need to be stuffed and knitted to a set pattern.
Liliane Coogan has the patterns for these teddy bears. Come along on a Thursday evening at the Fox and Hounds at 7.30pm and you can have a copy of the knitting patterns.

A party was enjoyed by players, family and friends at the community centre on 30 December. The hall was used to play games on the bowling mats. This was good fun as children and adults could compete on equal terms.
The kitchen came in useful serving drinks, hot and cold. Food was supplied by members of the club and laid out in the lounge for people to help themselves, which they did with gusto.
A separate table had to be brought into use for the delightful deserts. The lounge was able to seat everyone and old and new members had a re-union chatting, and eating.
Everyone helped to clear up after the festivities and thanks was given to all those who contributed.
A happy new year was wished by all to everyone.

Do bring friends, a bottle, nibbles etc. – we will supply our usual bakery offerings, but alas no fizz this time!
This month’s film is Behind the Candelabra, which had good reviews and should have something for everyone to enjoy – fun & frippery, and serious drama. We very much look forward to welcoming you along to our first film of the new year.

Each year admission authorities must set admission arrangements (sometimes referred to as ‘admission policy’).
Admission arrangements must explain how applications for school places will be processed and include a set of criteria that will be applied if there are more applications than places at the school.
Admission authorities must ensure that the arrangements comply with the School Admissions Code and that the practices and the criteria used to decide the allocation of school places is fair, clear and objective.
