Grumble bear
I am Grumble Bear - Delighted to meet you. Now let me tell you my story:
I come from Bohinjska Bela on Lake Bled, a tiny village in Slovenia.
Luckily, Penny (She is Nan and Van!) rescued me, and I travel with her now, rescuing bears and other animals wherever we go.
Since leaving Slovenia, we have become increasingly concerned about the welfare of bears and other animals worldwide. Many animals are facing extinction.
I'm sorry, but it's your fault. Yes, people! We continue to take what we want and ignore the consequences.
We need to put into practice what we preach:
REDUCE > REUSE > RECYCLE
You can help by rescuing and rehoming cuddly bears and toys. This is called regifting, and it is a fantastic way to reduce waste. Will you help by adopting a bear today

We offer story telling sessions. For all ages, at locations across the country. Please get in touch if you have an event you would like us to attend.
