Information For Sponsors
​
Firstly, thank you for considering supporting TBH!
With your help, we can continue to visit local schools, working with children, to:
-
Reduce their anxiety around doctor’s visits
-
Encourage healthy lifestyles
-
Educate about medical emergencies
Every Wednesday we visit a different primary school and teach children about simple topics in Medicine.

How is it run?
We do this by running a number of different stations in a carousel format (i.e. each group starts at a different station and works their way around the room until they’ve completed them all) on topics from Healthy Eating to an Ambulance Simulation.
At the same time, we provide the medical students that volunteer with us with an opportunity to help the community, practice skills in paediatrics by interacting with children and even improve their teaching skills.
Our society has been running since 2014  and so far, we have recruited close to 400 volunteers, taught over 2760 kids in over 120 sessions held in 60 different schools.
Imperial College London maintains a yearly intake of over 2000+ students, allowing for students for form close bonds especially those studying for 6+ years. Despite this, the society insists on gathering students from all courses to integrate them into our family-like community.

Weekly School trips
TeddyBear Hospital visits primary schools in the Hammersmith and Fulham area, where with the help of our volunteers we teach children in fun and interactive ways.
The role of the volunteers is made even more accessible with the availability of instructional sheets and a training day at the start of the academic year. We have a teddy bear mascot, Percy, who is adored by the children. We also ask children to bring their own soft toys and get them involved in the teaching (as their ‘patient’)!
A few examples of our stations include teaching about healthy eating, what to do in an emergency, and basic human anatomy. Teachers and children always remember the day and often try to book us again for the following year.
