Donate bears, buttons and educational toys

Phoenix Aid is a small UK based charity, who currently provides therapeutic support and fully certificated complementary therapy training to people in Bosnia; they have already initiated a Riding for the Disabled scheme and provide training in horse based therapy, Equine Facilitated Learning; they establish projects that will generate employment opportunities, also community development in rural areas.

Phoenix Aid volunteers are looking for unwanted teddy bears and buttons of all shapes, sizes and colours to create therapeutic bears (‘Berty Button Bears’) for children. They are planning to take them to Bosnia on their next trip in November.


They are also looking for donations of educational toys, art and craft materials, and a variety of other items. Learn more about the work of this charity: http://www.phoenix-aid.org/
