New South Wales
The Teddy Love Club program was founded and registered as an incorporation in 2002. With the programs growth and success the program registered as an incorporation in NSW in 2006 and operated under head office guidance. In 2008 the NSW volunteers changed the name to Bears of Hope and now run as a separate program to TLC. Teddy Love Club Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support is not associated with the new program in any way. The TLC program not only continues to run in many hospitals across NSW but provides bereavement support to NSW families as it always has since its original introduction in NSW by Trudi Penrose-Starr (TLC Founder) in 2003. If you have any questions regarding this please contact us.
