Balloon Race Winners Blown Away

In July, the team from Clock released 312 yellow balloons in Nuttall Park, each one representing a member of staff or volunteer from Bury Hospice.

Unlike a traditional balloon race where the people who find the balloons win a prize, Clock decided to donate gifts to the people who work for the hospice instead.

The winners were three nurses whose designated balloons had travelled the furthest - Rhona Kallee, Cath Shivnan and Ruby Boyd - who will be treated to a deluxe spa day at the Village Hotel, Bury as a special thank you for their tireless work at the hospice.
