Pramacare - One of the family

Winning balloon travels all the way to Holland

22/06/2006 - The long awaited results from Pramacare's May Day Balloon launch are finally in. The winning balloon, launched by Councillor Queenie Comfort from Wimborne Minster Green last month, travelled all the way to Biervliet in Holland. Other balloons travelled to Belgium, Sussex and the Isle of Wight.

"I was so surprised when Pramacare called," says winner Anna Freemont from Poole. "I don't normally win anything!"

Anna, who was presented with a digital radio at the Pramacare offices in West Howe, is looking forward to tuning in to all her favourite programmes.

Through on going fundraising events and campaigns Pramacare helps to subsidise the cost of the care it provides. The charity provides over 2000 hours of care each week in the local area, helping people who, through illness, disability or old age, need practical help and care so that they can continue living independently at home.
