CLUB PROJECTS
PARA-TEDSSometimes miss-heard as Parrot Heads!
This project is run by the six Lions Clubs in the local area including the Littleborough and District Lions Club.
WHAT IS IT?
It is a scheme where we keep the local Ambulance Stations stocked with specially made Teddy Bears.
These bears are called 'PARA-TEDS'.(See picture)
