Every new beginning starts with one brave step. A gentle teddy bear with a small suitcase, ready to leave the past behind, together with the free Lotus support line number. A reminder that it is never too late to start again, and that help is always within reach.<\/p>
Every sweatshirt you buy raises vital funds for Lotus Justice & Support Centre CIC, which supports Romanian-speaking survivors of domestic abuse across the UK. Wear it with pride and help us show that no one should face abuse alone.<\/p>
Printed on demand on organic cotton, so nothing is wasted.<\/p>
The story behind Bears of Hope <\/strong><\/p> Our bears carry two meanings. The first is the child within you. The part of you that was once small and hopeful, that may have been hurt, and that still deserves comfort, safety and love. Healing often begins when we learn to care for that child again. The second is the child beside you. So many of the women we support are mothers, and every step they take towards safety is a step for their children too. When you see two bears together, you see a mother and her child, holding on to each other, finding comfort, and starting again, side by side. Each bear carries the free Lotus support line, 0800 098 2730, so that help can reach the people who need it.<\/p>","brand":null,"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"Every new beginning starts with one brave step.
