We are thrilled to announce a heart-warming new initiative, we are launching nationwide, which offers visually impaired children across the UK the opportunity to experience the gospel through specially designed lamb teddies embedded with accessible Christian audio stories. The Hope for All project aims to distribute 300 of these faith-filled resources over the next two years, bringing encouragement and spiritual growth to children with sight loss.
