An initiative by a Manx Blind Welfare has seen the charity inundated with donations of beautiful cuddy toys.
The Society’s ‘Cuddly Wuddly Adoption Club’ gives pre-loved toys a new lease of life and an opportunity to find a new forever home. The charity takes donations of toys received at its Douglas-based charity shop, The VIP Store, and gives them a spa day, a new name and an official adoption certificate. They are then free to be adopted for a small fee, with all monies received staying on-Island to support the work of Manx Blind Welfare Society.
Manx Blind Welfare Society Office Manager Kerry Healey: ‘We are so grateful for the donations of toys we have received since the launch of ‘The Cuddly Wuddly Adoption Club’, and we now have the most wonderful collection of toys ready for their new owners. Now, it is just a case of pairing them up with their new loving families!
‘If you know anyone that would love some cuddles from one of our special cuddly friends, whether that’s a little girl or boy, a grandparent, auntie or sister – anyone at all - please get in touch. All we request is for the new owner to take the Cuddly Wuddly Adoption Club pledge to be kind, protective, loving and faithful’ to their new friend.
‘We’ve already sent a good number of Cuddly Wuddly’s out across the Island and on longer Cuddly missions in the UK.’
