A CHILD welfare centre in Govan will receive a special bear deliver to celebrate National Teddy Day.

Build-A-Bear® is donating 5,000 toys to NSPCC centres across the UK to mark the September 9 event.

The move is aimed at helping young people recover from traumatic experiences.

Claire Harvey, corporate partnerships fundraiser, said: “Toys can bring comfort and a much needed smile to a young person when going through difficult times.

“We can’t wait to start distributing these bears to children across the UK who are receiving treatment at our service centres.

“We would also like to say a massive thank you to Build-A-Bear for their wonderful donation - it really is cause for cele-BEAR-ation!”
