Jenny MathiassonToday I'm in #Sittingbourne and I've held my first #ToyHospital session. It was really fun and a few people brought in patients or asked about treasured toys! 🏥🧸

Repair Cafe Barry60 year old bear, Lenny was given a new lease of life by Ann at our August repair café and toy hospital 🧸️.
He was named Lenny after the owners dad and he has barely any fur left - making it to 60 years old can do that to you!
Thankfully Ann was able to use her sewing skills to save his arm, meaning he can live out the rest of his days two-armed on the bed of his owner.

The Leith Toy Hospital officially opened in 2017
They repair around 1500 toys every year – a figure limited not by demand but by the capacity of the small staff
