On 13 January, Addenbrooke's A&E Unit received its first delivery of teddies for the benefit of children receiving treatment in the department. This has been made possible thanks to the efforts of Cambridgeshire Freemasons, as part of their TLC 'Teddies for Loving Care' appeal.

Over 10,000 TLC Teddies are being made available to Addenbrooke's A&E and the Minor Injuries Unit in Ely and Wisbech.
