Fenland care home is hoping balloon challenge will raise Children in Need cash




The manager of a Wisbech care home had her car 'stolen' by staff - but it was all in a good cause.

Workers at Orchard House took Kim Watson's A-Class Mercedes and had it filled with balloons with the help of local party shop 'A bit of a do'.

In truth Kim knew all about the plan and actually had her car cleaned especially for the challenge.

People are being asked to look at photos of the balloon-packed car and guess just how many there are from a series of photos.

The balloons are not only in the main body of the car, including the foot wells, but also the boot, and they have all been inflated to around the same size.

Those wanting to have a guess can enter by visiting the home, which is located in Money Bank, and making a donation and filling in a form.
