Children are appealing for teddies to give to bereaved youngsters.

Half Pint Nursery in Purleigh is collecting bears - new or pre-loved - for Farleigh Hospice.

It is the first time the nursery has organised a collection and there about 20 so far, donated by the 30 children who attend.

Teddies can be given to the nursery, which is in the grounds of Purleigh Primary School in Pump Lane, before December 13.
