It can be hard when mummy and/or daddy are away from home on a deployment.

So the Submarine Family had some friends who needed new owners to look after them and take care of them.

And who better than the amazing children; who are without their submariner parents or guardians this festive period.

The Submarine Family sent 118 bears out on new adventures to find their new homes and families, all to the children of our deployed units this Christmas time.

If you know of anyone who received a bear and would like to share photos or stories of their new adventures, please email [email protected] or click on the QR code in the pictures and post to our social media.
