Good home for excess teddies?

[Calsug]

We've been given quite a few teddies by friends and family for our newborn son to the point where there are probably a few too many!

Does anyone know where we can donate some to? We don't have a car so walking distance would be good

Heber School has a teddy tombola for its summer fair. It's a bit early now but they'll be calling for donations in a couple of weeks so I'm sure you could drop them off there at the reception if you explain it's for the fair.

Otherwise perhaps Kings College Hospital? Or a women's refuge? I think there's one on Barry Road but don't know the details.

There are young children at Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS) who I'm sure would love a teddy friend. It is based at the Copleston Centre SE15 on Tuesdays.

There have been a couple of articles about them in local papers over the last year:
