Trauma Teddies

Knitting for kindness.

Over 1 million children have cuddled a colourful, comforting Trauma Teddy since we first started hand-knitting them back in 1990.

Trauma Teddies provide care in so many ways:

  • comfort to children fleeing bushfires, floods and other emergencies
  • a warm welcome to refugee children
  • company in a speeding ambulance
  • friendly security in hospital
  • a happy face in a lonely time.

At last count, more than 600 volunteer knitters and knitting groups hand knit Teddies in Australia. They lovingly craft around 50,000 Trauma Teddies a year. That’s a huge number of children who each year receive the care of a teddy bear.
