Children first have launched the hugely requested ‘Listening Lion’ as part of their 50th anniversary celebrations.
‘Leopold the Listening Lion’, named after the road Children First Derbys centre is based on. Leopold Street.
They are available to children that the charity support and who may need help with their mental health and wellbeing.
Leopold The Listening Lion is very similar to a worry monster. Children will be able to draw or write down any worries they may have on a piece of paper which can then be fed into Leopold’s zip on his back, where he will ‘eat the worries away’.
Our fundraising Coordinator Bella Kelsey had this to say “Leopold will provide children with a way to express and cope with their feelings and any fears or anxiety.
We have previously used worry monsters successfully when working with families and after many requests decided it was time to time to launch our own mascot that children will become familiar with and use him in a similar way.
Matt at ‘Simply Uniform’ kindly donated the first 50 Listening Lions.
The Lions will be available to buy for £25, or you individuals and businesses can sponsor a Lion which can be given to a child in need
