Meet our new Heads of Games: Ted. E. Bear

Head of Games

Children North East are pleased to share the appointment of the new Head of Games, Ted. E. Bear.

The Head of Games role has been created to support the organisation to work towards our purpose, that all babies, children and young people are given the opportunity to grow up healthy and happy, in innovative and thoughtful new ways.

Ted will work with the CEO and the Families and Parenting leadership team to implement pioneering approaches to games, including:

– Increasing the portfolio of moves utilised in Boogie Bairn sessions so dancers can achieve the higher Boogie Woogie Accreditation

– Taking on the role of Giggles Ambassador, ensuring all opportunities for giggles generate maximum ROI

Ted brings a raft of experience to the role, having previously worked with respected games specialists Lego, Mary Poppins and Santa, the latter with whom he oversaw the launch of a new digital department during the 90’s tech boom.

Ted commented, “It’s great to be joining Children North East, an organisation that shares my ethos that games are for everyone, no matter what their background. I hope to bring the most fun, most giggly, most silly games to babies, children, young people and their families across the region and beyond.”
