THANK YOU for joining our Campaign

What does the #BearsforRare campaign mean for my school?

Participating in this campaign means that your school will be involved in a big movement to educate and protect children right across the UK, whilst supporting vulnerable children internationally with the rare genetic condition Xeroderma Pigmentosum.

Join our campaign, and receive our BRAND NEW Little Ted goes to school... educational pack for your early years or primary school. Delivering key messages on inclusion, rare disease and sun safety for all.

PLUS, every funded Little Ted goes to school... pack  allows us to reach one child living with the rare genetic condition of Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) with our BMA Award Winning, Little Ted patient pack. This pack provides vital and age appropriate education to help young patients with XP learn about living with their complex and life limiting condition.

In your pack...

Each Little Ted pack comes presented in a practical and handy duffel bag for ease of use and storage, keeping everything to hand when you need it.
This pack contains a comprehensive teacher booklet with all of the resources you need to deliver a first class learning experience across a wide range of IDL topics. Allowing you to explore these themes through many of the core outcomes; communication and language, physical development, PSE, literacy, mathematics and numeracy, understanding the world, science and expressive arts.

To this end, we believe we have tailored a fun, creative and educational resource, which is highly workable within the classroom and which, we hope will become a firm favourite `go to` resource, for years to come!
