A message from Vincent our mascot.
I’m not always the loudest voice in the room — in fact, I’ve spent the last few years quietly watching from my spot on the shelf. But today, I wanted to speak to you all.
It is the greatest honour of my life to serve as your mascot, your companion, and a small reminder of comfort in difficult moments. Together, we’ve shared something truly special — offering warmth, food, care, and dignity to those who needed it most.
I’ve been held tightly in hard times, passed gently from hand to hand, and carried through moments of kindness and hope. I’ve seen tired smiles turn into real ones, and I’ve felt the strength of this charity in every act of compassion.
And even though I’m just a bear, I’ve always understood this was never just about help — it was about humanity.
As time has passed, I’ve found myself taking on a quieter role. From my place on the shelf, I’ve watched new faces, new energy, and new opportunities begin to grow. And it feels like the right moment — to let others help me carry the story forward.
To everyone who has carried me, cared for me, and shared this journey — thank you. You’ve given me a life far fuller than any teddy bear could ever expect.
I’ll still be around as there is still lots to do.
After all, once you're part of a family like ours, you're always part of the story.
With all my love,
Vincent x x
