National Teddy Bear Day and the Sidemen Exclusive!

This National Teddy Bear Day we are partnering with YouTube group, Sidemen to help spread the sunshine in hospitals across the UK

To celebrate, we are sending out these special Sidemen bears to fans in hospitals across the country. The group recorded a special Q&A video, with questions from young people who have had a wish with Rays of Sunshine, exclusive just for you.

These bears will also be sold as part of the Sidemen Charity Match 2023 to raise funds and help grant more magical wishes.

We have been announced as a chosen charity again for this year’s Sidemen Charity Match, happening on 9 September 2023 at London’s Olympic Stadium! Last year, the charity was one of the beneficiaries of the match, which raised more than a whopping £1 million.
