Central Co-op joins forces with Sebbie Hall and Teffie to spread kindness this Valentine’s Day

We are thrilled to announce an inspiring new Valentine’s Day initiative in collaboration with wholesome snack brand, Teffie, and the Sebbie Hall Kindness Foundation!

Limited-edition Sebbie Teffie Bears are now available at selected Central Co-op stores across the Midlands, with every purchase supporting projects funded by the Sebbie Hall Kindness Foundation - dedicated to spreading kindness and combating loneliness among disadvantaged and disabled young people.

The adorable Sebbie Teffie Bears are more than just cuddly companions - they’re stuffed with kindness (literally!) and come with a nourishing Teffie snack as well as a personalised KindCard.

Born with a rare chromosomal disability, Sebbie Hall has defied all odds and is now dedicating his life to acts of generosity – from delivering care packages to donating his own iPad to a friend in need, as well as completing over 2,000 acts of kindness and raising more than £100,000 for charity. His extraordinary efforts have earned him the prestigious Points of Light Award from No. 10 Downing Street and saw him crowned Young Charity Hero of the Year at the Central Co-op Young Co-operator Awards in 2021.

"I just want to make someone smile today." - Sebbie Hall.

Priced at £15, each Sebbie Teffie Bear directly supports the Sebbie Hall Kindness Foundation, funding vital projects that promote inclusion and connection for young people facing social isolation due to disability or disadvantage. Every bear comes with a KindCard to inspire recipients to pass on the kindness.

The included Teffie snacks are high in fibre, plant-based, gluten-free and made from simple, wholesome ingredients like teff, flaxseeds and dates. Free from artificial sweeteners, colours, flavours and ultra-processed ingredients, Teffies come in delicious flavours such as Chocolate Date, Cinnamon Sultana and Chocolate Orange.

Sebbie Teffie Bears are available at Central Co-op stores across the Midlands, including locations in Lichfield, Bakewell, Castle Donnington, Eccleshall, Stafford, Littleover, Hatton, Ashbourne, Shelton Lock, Rugeley, Barton, Chasetown, Willington, Fradley Park, Alrewas and more.

Jessica Rogers, Founder of Teffie, comments: "Sebbie’s dedication to kindness is truly inspiring, and we’re proud to support his mission. This campaign is the perfect way to spread love and positivity this Valentine’s Day and beyond."
