RESIDENTS at a Frankston aged care home have been knitting teddies to help cheer up kids in hospital.

Benetas St Paul’s Terrace residential aged care home residents have been working on the project. Keen knitter Maria Holloway has been spending the last month preparing “trauma teddies” which will go to kids staying in the Frankston Hospital Emergency Department.

Benetas carer Connie Chaffey says that the bears have been received by the hospital and are ready for “cuddles as soon as they are needed.”

“Maria came up with the idea for the local Frankston Hospital so she knits each unique teddy and I help by stuffing and stitching them together,” she said. “Maria loves making each individual teddy knowing it can offer a bit of comfort to an unwell little one.”
