We have come a long way since we started in 1985 but still rely on the goodwill of the community to survive. As we work in partnership with Moray Council, we receive a small percentage of funding from them towards our running costs for children in receipt of a funded nursery place, but we also very much continue to depend on grants and donations.
We currently require approximately £45,000 per year to operate smoothly, and rely heavily on the support of the general public, local businesses and our wonderful fundraising committee.
Please donate to the Teddy Bear Developmental Playgroup
We have an amazon wish list that can be accessed if you would like to donate one of the much needed resources we require to the group
If you would like to make a donation please make cheques payable to:
"The Teddy Bear Development Group"

or
Please ask if you would prefer to make a payment by BACS . Cash donations can be handed into the nursery.
