Could you use a some fluffy magic?
We’re so sorry to hear things are feeling tough right now, and we’re sending you a big dose of love and sunshine.
Tell us a little about what you’re going through and, once moderated, an anonymised version of your story will be added to our Bear Hug Wall, where someone in our community can sponsor a specially chosen soft friend to come your way. *Please note that at the moment, whilst sponsors can be from anywhere, recipients and wall entries can only be UK-based (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please note that The Bear Hug Wall is a community kindness project, not a crisis, counselling, medical or professional support service. Loved Before cannot provide medical, mental-health, safeguarding or emergency advice.

I consent to Loved Before reviewing my submission and publishing an anonymised version on the Loved Before Bear Hug Wall, subject to moderation and our community guidelines.
Submissions are moderated before publication and may not be published if they raise privacy, safeguarding or community-guideline concerns. Publication does not guarantee that a Bear Hug will be sponsored.
I understand my submission may be lightly edited for clarity, length, privacy or to meet community guidelines, without changing the meaning of my story.
Your full name, email, delivery address and other private contact details will not be published on the Bear Hug Wall.
Please don’t include information you wouldn’t be comfortable having shared anonymously online.
