YOUNGSTERS are being urged to donate their second-hand teddies to help raise cash for vulnerable children.

Children's charity Barnardo’s wants kids in Lewisham and Greenwich to handover cuddly toys they no longer play.

The teddies will be sold at Barnado's shops across the country including the charity's Eltham High Street branch.

The money raised will go towards protecting children against poverty and abuse.

Actress and children's campaigner Floella Benjamin is the charity's vice president.

She said: “This Barnardo’s appeal sounds so much fun and one that will spark many fond memories for people."
